            Bug ID: 150804
           Summary: The strings "Top of baseline" and "Bottom of baseline"
                    should be changed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
The strings "Top of baseline" and "Bottom of baseline" are used to align
graphic bullet symbols to text baseline. They are a bit confusing, though.

As an imaginary line, a baseline has no thickness and therefore also no "top"
or "bottom". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_(typography)

For "Top of baseline", the actual meaning is "immediately above the baseline",
i.e. the lower edge of the bullet is touching the baseline.  "On top of
baseline" would also be correct.

For "Bottom of baseline", the actual meaning is "immediately below the
baseline", or "Below baseline" for short.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, make a list with graphic bullets.
2. Go to Format - Bullet and Numbering... - Customize tab.
3. Change the alignment from the Alignment drop-down list.

Actual Results:
The strings "Top of baseline" and "Bottom of baseline" are used.

Expected Results:
More descriptive strings are used.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
