------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 22 15:13:02 -0800 2006 ------- >From the discussion about Reveal Codes on the Users mail list I have some thoughts to add. As all the formatting properties are stored as styles tokens (T1-Tx) in the content.xml, and thus must be in memory, make this information available in a simple dialog. As one user suggested, a properties map that reveals the various styles and formatting properties used at the cursor location would be a great help. I feel that this would be almost as good as reveal codes. Moving the cursor could indicate where a formatting property changes. Add the ability to change or delete properties within this pop-up box and now you have a type of reveal codes. Or at least take you to the property that made this change. I know that some info is displayed in various locations but that is a pain. As a test I made a simple document that had some formatting changes and examined the content.xml file to see what happened when I made changes. What I see is a simple way to display all the information about formatting in an easy way. If Jannz's macro can display this info, why not make an integrated tool to do a better job. I also suggest that there be a menu or added feature to show where the formatting makes changes within a document. Selecting View > Non-Printing Characters will show some formatting features. A second choice of showing the formatting (T1-Tx) token positions, would also help. Especially when trying to find that one piece of code that was imported that screwed up your whole document. There is no reason to stick with the answer that this is how they do it in Word so this is how we will do it. I think we need to look at how OOo can be made better. Reveal codes are better for people that do not have total control over all aspects of a document and have to work with multiple sources and formats and hopefully get into a single working format. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
