            Bug ID: 164084
           Summary: Improve UI discoverability of font-relative spacing
                    and margins
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.8.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

The amount of space above and below paragraphs, as well as the indentation on
both sides of a paragraph, can be specified either in absolute terms (e.g. pt,
cm) or in _font-size-relative_ terms, using the "ic" unit.

This is a very useful feature IMNSHO, as, when using it, one can "scale" the
paragraph's content using the font sizes, without having to readjust the margin
sizes all the time.

However - there is absolutely no chance that users will realize this
possibility even exists. It is only if they know apriori that the "ch" or "ic"
unit exists, that they may consider using it.

I say we should somehow make the choice between absolute and relative sizes for
these values - and perhaps most importantly the side margin sizes - 
discoverable, possible for the user to notice and consider.
