Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |stephane.guillou@libreoffic | |e.org --- Comment #19 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <[email protected]> --- Side-note on competitors: OnlyOffice's word processor has, _as a default_, vertical and horizontal page centre helplines that dragged objects can snap to (both object's centre and edges). They only show when the object actually snaps to them - the same as MS PowerPoint. LibreOffice Writer has options like grid, snap to grid, and helplines while moving, which are all turned off by default, and even if turned on they do not offer the same functionality as OnlyOffice or PowerPoint. I think what OnlyOffice and PowerPoint have would be very useful in both Writer and Impress/Draw. But I guess that's what is already requested in bug 76070, and differs from OP's request to have a ruler marker that's always visible. (I also had a look at MS Office 365 Word online, but it currently feels so broken (?) that I can't even move an object with the mouse.) See also for Impress/Draw: - bug 112624: snap line should default to centre of slide - bug 112643: offer presets for snap line position My take: New. It should be made easy to visualise the centre of the paper, to snap objects as well as to locate oneself on the page when zoomed in. The implementation would ideally be made consistent with Draw and Impress, although I'd be OK with having it off by default in Writer. Using the snap guides for that makes sense to me. So is the way forward to add snap guides to Writer, and then request for centre snap guides as in bug 112624? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
