- By default, the grey alignment arrows on the ruler do not "snap" to
- their next position: instead, they have complete freedom of movement.

+ Description: Ubuntu 11.04
+ Release: 11.04
- This makes it near-on impossible to ensure that seperated tables in the
- same document, are correctly aligned.

- I can not find this feature in the options.
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one clicks the horizontal ruler in
+ effort to set up consistent margins, tab stops, and paragraph indents,
+ it snaps to the markers.
- This feature is switched on by default in other office applications such
- as Abiword and MS Office.
+ 4) What happens instead is they have complete freedom of movement.
- This applies to all versions of open-office I have tried, from 2.4 to
- the current release of 3.0.1.
+ WORKAROUND: Click Format -> Paragraph... -> Indent & Spacing tab and
+ choose desired indents.
- This problem can be replicated easily as it is a standard feature of the
- program.
+ WORKAROUND: Use AbiWord.
- The problem occurs on all tested distributions (including Ubuntu
- 8.10/9.04, opensuse 11.1, and Fedora 10.
-
- I would like to see at least the option to use snapping ruler increments
- in the future.
-
- Thank you
