Bug ID: 89581
Summary: UI: making a placeholder or placemarker to ease text
moves
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.8.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This suggests a feature that would likely be appreciated by non-techie users.
When, in a long document, a user moves fragments around, it helps the user to
mark a location as one to come back to. I do it by typing a stream of asterisks
and then using the Find command to find the asterisks. So, when I want to move
a fragment from later in a document to an earlier point, I mark the earlier
point with a string of asterisks that otherwise doesn't exist in the document,
I cut the fragment to be moved, I find the asterisks string, and I paste over
the asterisks string with the cut fragment from elsewhere. This has two
drawbacks: The user has to think of doing this, otherwise will have to scroll
manually. And the user has to create a unique string not existing in the
document or has to evaluate multiple locations to find the intended one.
Marking should be by a menu command and should be invisible in the document.
My hardware description is a guess.
