Hello,
I write you because I'm a LaTeX user. Sometimes I use OpenOffice. Unfortunately
something very usefull is missing.
Let's imagine you want to center verticaly a text in a page.
A good idea could be to have an invisible vertical elasticity character.
You write your text.
You go before the text and add an invisible vertical elasticity character.
You go after the text and add an invisible vertical elasticity character.
Such a character is a sort of coil spring.
It will avoid inserting many end of line character.
Moreover it will be possible to definite the strength of the coil spring.
So if you want a vertically center text you definite before and after the text
the same strength for the coil spring.
If you want to center at the first third of a page you can insert
- a coil spring of strengh "1" before the text.
- a coil spring of strengh "2" after the text.
We could also imagine horizontal coil spring.
Such an idea come for the LaTeX commands
\vspace*{\stretch{x}}
\hspace*{\stretch{y}}
where x / y is the strengh of the coil spring.
Regards
PS : sorry for my poor english level (my mother tongue is french ;-) )
