Priority: medium
Bug ID: 63610
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Enhancement request: Automatically convert
fractions in Maths into objects
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: No AutoCorrect option allows the user to type a fraction
with a horizontal line, e.g.
3
__
4
Steps to reproduce:
Typing 1/2 gives ½ only.
I need to type a number of fractions quickly. A _standard_ way is:
Insert -> Object -> Formula -> {<?>} over {<?>} .
By fractions, I mean
1
__
2
with the _horizontal_ line (not in the form of 1 / 2 , not using subscript, not
using superscript)
I would be grateful to see an AutoCorrect feature which lets me turn it on:
1. Type (digit) / (digit) (space)
2. Writer converts the fraction into the object (with the _horizontal_ line)
3. If the user does not like it, Ctrl + Z returns the previous form (i.e.
(digit) / (digit) (space))
4. Some users may be typing a date (not a fraction). This AutoCorrect feature
can be turned off easily.
Alternatively, if this feature is turned off by default. The user can turn it
on:
1. Tools -> AutoCorrect Options
2. -> Options -> Treat fractions as objects with horizontal lines
Current behavior: No AutoCorrect option allows the user to type a fraction with
a horizontal line.
Expected behavior: An AutoCorrect option could be added to allow the user to
type this fraction.
