--- Comment #2 from Zenaan Harkness <z...@freedbms.net> --- Yes, I mean "Microsoft Office XP" - which is also called version 10.0, and occasionally called "2002" since that is the year it was introduced. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office#Versions My workflow: I am editing a >1000 page book for a human rights association in Australia, and it requires many styles. Since it is a law related book, every paragraph has a marginalia "paragraph number". Please refer bug #101753 for a very small two page example of legal marginalia paragraph numbering. Inserting these is very easy in Microsoft Word, and currently quite awkward in LO: - In MS Word, I define a paragraph style to which I am able to attach a frame style, which correctly places the marginalia "legal paragraph number" (which is for the subsequent paragraph) - then to insert a new legal paragraph marginalia number, I go to the beginning of the paragraph that needs this new legal number - then insert a new paragraph containing this number - this is very easy - finally, I simply double-click the "legalNumMarginalia" style I created above and voi la! I have an instant legal paragraph number, perfectly placed In contrast, in LO, when I want to create this new legal paragraph marginalia number, I have to do the following: - create a paragraph style for the formatting of the legal number - separately create a correspoding frame style for the placement of the legal number - go to start of required paragraph [- do not insert a new paragraph] - instead insert a new frame - now enter the required legal number into the frame - double click the required paragraph style for formatting of the legal number in the new frame - next carefully click the edge of the frame so it is selected - finally double-click the required frame style to apply the needed frame properties This is the quickest sequence I have been able to determine so far in LO. I really wish there were an easier way to do this. Sometimes, in some legal documents, I can and do use numbered lists in LO, but sometimes I have to do things the manual way and in LO this is very time consuming and not enjoyable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
