------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 23 09:13:15 -0800 2006 ------- Further to the suggestion. After some thinking. Reveal Codes is a way of showing the formatting at a particular location within the document. In OOo, this is the collected formatting of the document that make up the various properties as set by the styles. A properties display box that is similiar to the Styles and Formatting box could solve most of the reveal codes demands. A display box that shows the relevant stlyles used, fonts and font controls in a simple box. A box that allows the cursor to be moved and the dialog updates as the cursor moves. This box then could allow someone to change, remove or edit the style as in the Styles and Formatting box. Now people can say that this feature is already available but not in an easy to use way. Someone could search through their style and formatting box for each and every character location and not find that one point where the formatting is wrecked. My suggestion would be a box that floats or attaches at the bottom or top of the screen. Like the Reveal codes box on WP. In the box would be something like this. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Page style: Index Paragraph style: Contents 4 Character style: Placeholder Frame style: Default Lists style: Default Font: Times new Roman B U I ------------------------------------------------------------------- If the cursor is moved and the font changes due to the Character style, then this information would be quickly seen. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Page style: Index Paragraph style: Contents 4 Character style: Placeholder 2 Frame style: Default Lists style: Default Font: Nimubus Roman B U I ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the person will know that the formattng change was due to the change in the Character style without having to go through all the various dialogs. A simple indication of where the change is. Now the user could decide to delete, change or modify the style Character style. This dialog must update with the cursor movements. I feel that this dialog box would resolve most of the Reveal Code demands within the framework of how OOo works with documents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
