@Henri, * Comments on the BZ issue tdf#90651 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90651 , The dialog frame that opens for Line objects remains the preferred way to manipulate --all-- Line objects in Writer, but in addition to your suggestion of adding the group button for Lines and Arrows, the group button for Connectors should also be made available in Writer. That likely would be done on the the Drawing toolbar, which is exposed from Standard toolbar with the Show Draw Functions button. Only question is if these new buttons would be enabled by default on the Drawing toolbar--probably should be.

Stuart My suggestion, Stuart - I regret that I didn't make it explicit - would be that the arrow tool be added to the draw function and *enabled by default*. As Brian points out above, there are several ways to skin this particular cat, but from my point of view, which is that of a person who helps retirees with their computer problems and, among other things, attempts to convince them to use LibreOffice rather than the dear - and unintuitive - legacy office suite, an alternative which doesn't require too many steps is preferable. My experience is that users of this type can accept clicking on the «Show draw functions» icon in the Writer toolbar to bring up the draw functions toolbar and then click on the arrow icon there to create an arrow in a Writer document, but were I to suggest following *all* the steps I outline in the enhancement request or first creating an arrow in Draw or Impress and then copying and pasting it into a Writer-document, their eyes, I fear would begin to glaze, and they would inform me that the procedure was too complicated for them Henr i -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
