The new root level menu will hold the items we're moving out of the Format menu. It will be the "Object" menu. If we want to phrase it on a higher level: Either: "A menu for actions on, and setting non-formatting properties of, objects in Writer documents" This categorization is indeed not covered by the existing menus, considering their titles: File - regards the whole document/file, not individual objects. Edit - is about the document text, not (floating) objects View - about display, not actions (although there might be a bit of overlap in principe) Insert - We can insert new objects here, not work with existing ones Format - Here was set formatting properties; under Object it'll be non-formatting properties (*) Styles - The object menu does choose a style to apply nor edits styles Table - Tables are not the kind of "objects" we're talking about (or we can think of them of special objects which deerve their own special menu) Form - Going away; and if it did Tools - this is the "miscellaneous" menu, so it can have anything, but in practice there are items in Tools which fall under the title Window - obviously Help - obviously (*) We could relax the distinction slightly in favor of object-specific formatting properties being available under the Object menu rather than the Format menu, similarly to how Table > Properties... also involves formatting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
