Hi Cor
As I pointed out in my previous e-mail tou you and rod, I'm just a
user of
the software. How can I contribute?
'Just a user' is something we don't know, IMO.
If we want the new function for the page-alignment to happen, thinking
about how it exactly should work, and how not, and werting that down
so that it is well understood by others, is an important process.
Users can help a lot here, so I can as well ;-)
Vertical alignment doesn't sound complicated. But you always have to
think about different situations. What if this or that. And how can
the function be activated. Window, context-menu, main menu, ...
We can add to the issue our intention to make a (draft) specification
and see what they come up with, for us to make it in or with.
When we've finished that, the next step comes ...
Here are a few of the more obvious points, to start the ball rolling:
1) Should it apply to both pages and columns?
2) Affects all text between page or column breaks.
3) The obvious things should happen if there is more than one full page
or column of text - i.e. text flows to the next page, which comforms to
the same alignment.
4) Should the alignment be part of the page style? How should OOo handle
columns (which don't have styles)?
5) Do we need column styles?
6) What are the rules when the centre of a page is "occupied" (e.g. by a
vertically centred table or frame with wrap attributes)? Does the
vertically centred text go above or below the vertically centred frame
or table?
