Re: footnotes problem, .rtf import, view source on 1.5.3

[rgheck]

My take is that if "justified" wasn't there I probably would have  
tried it. But if it actually removes paragraph formatting (even if  
it resorts to the default for the context) wouldn't it be clearer  
to say "Remove Paragraph Formatting"?  I'm surmising it's doing  
both. So I understand the problem in the wording. And I appreciate  
your interest in the detail here!

The short version of why it doesn't say that is that, if there's no
special formatting, then that box will be checked to represent that
there is no special formatting. But I suppose we could change the label
depending upon which situation we're in.
 

I just noticed that these imported docs have some rag-right (left) 
formatting in them which were left over from the import, and some 
randomly justified paragraphs. In this case the button as labeled 
makes perfect sense because that's what it does.

Right. And if you have a bunch of paragraphs that are differently 
formatted, Default will set them all to their default, whatever that 
might be.

But where I ran into this was in trying to format a footnote to which 
I wouldn't think "justified" would apply except for the fact that the 
marker is in a justified paragraph.

From my view I was trying to format a footnote and get rid of an extra 
blank line in the footnote footer region. So it didn't occur to me 
that "justified" would apply to that. But maybe it does. (paragraph 
formatting is otherwise defined in the class?) I think that even if 
"justified" is correct,  it was a little mis-leading -- perhaps just 
due to my ignorance. However the original text "Apply Paragraph's 
Default Alignment" by itself is accurate because it would have implied 
to me that it might properly format a footnote -- which it does!

In principle, a footnote could be formatted differently from the main 
text---though that would look quite silly. It may be that 1.6 won't 
allow such customization in footnotes. It probably shouldn't if it does.
