--- Comment #3 from Charles McCullough <[email protected]> 2012-02-27 16:45:26 PST --- Formula size can be edited in Calc using Format->Graphic->Position and Size. However, copying and pasting the resized formula into Writer is ineffective. The formula appears again at the original size. Using the Format->Styles and Formatting->Formulas is ineffective in Writer, and the Formatting->Object->Postition and Size is unavailable as a choice for resizing formulas. All in all I tried adding the "Position and Size" button, the "Text Size" button, and the "Wrap" button to the Formulas toolbar in Writer. These features either weren't available or offered no help for resizing the formula. In Writer I couln't find many features available for editing the formula, although colorizing the formula box did work. Very nice touch. The ability to resize the formula in Calc is of little value. Long formulas will still exceed the boundaries of a print margin and making such a formula smaller will inevitably cause the formula to be unreadable. And if the formula is needed in Writer, even the ability to effectively paste a formula created in Calc would be short changing the user if said was required to use Calc to do so. The feature is available in Writer, and I for one think it makes sense to improve the interface and functionality. 2 cents I guess. In my opinion, the best option ultimately for this feature would be to create a non-rigid container for each inserted formula which enables users to "break" a formula into more than one line. Color can be added to the formula box which is nice. Otherwise an approach similar to the workaround which uses a picture editing sort of feature could work I suppose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
