Actually, thinking about it: THIS IS DEAD WRONG! Insert a horizontal line should definitely NOT mean: change the whole paragraph layout, including fonts, line spacing, indentation, font color, background color, etc. Suppose you have your carefully defined paragraph style, now you want to insert a horizontal line below the text, not as part of the text. Now the whole paragraph style changes to the predefined Horizontal Line style. That's not what I mean with Insert horizontal line. So it should either insert a new paragraph with only a horizontal line, or it should add a horizontal line to the current paragraph by changing its bottom border attribute only. The latter option robs you of the possibility of styling the line in advance. Of course you can just hit RETURN first, and that's what I do when I insert a horizontal line. I must admit that I almost never insert horizontal lines, except in tables. -- Piet van Oostrum <[email protected]> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
