------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 7 13:46:58 -0700 2006 ------- >Unfortunately not, they are even more confusing now. Sorry this was not my intention. Maybe an example would explain things better. If needed I can scan a page of our publication and attach it as PDF. >I guess that parts should not start at 1, but use the same numbering as the >transcript? No only the parts of the transcripts have linenumbers. >What if different fonts/fontsizes are used? Then the numbers don'T match again. Therefore (and for many other reasons due to the transcription system which must be capable to show overlapping phrases, sometimes four or more persons speak at the same time, must show pauses, must show turntaking of speeches, must show prosodic elements like laughing etc....) we use for transcripts only monospaced fonts (preferably lineprinter which is a font built into almost any HP Laserjet and many others, we have it too as TTF and PS-Font if it's not available with the used printer) and transcript-width and fontsize is predefined in a way that it defintely fits on all paper-sizes used for scientific publications (they luckily don't differ that much). We have a template for transcribers they have to use. >Anyway - Instead of opeing the linenumber-menu, open Format|Paragraph→Numbering >OOo remembers the last tab, so you don't have to switch to the Numbering tab >manually every time. I didn't expect anything else ... And I can surely tell you that, after Wordperfect (which is unfortunately no longer really usable for many reasons), OOWriter is the first Text-Processor I really like to work with (thats the reason why I insist) after a long time of trying alternatives. >This is surely not what the user intended to do. And you cannot make clear in >the dialog that it is a paragraph property. - But this is how writer works. Beeing a 'developer' by myself I know that 'things under the hood' are often not easily to explain to users and that users many times want things which don't fit in the way the softwore works. But at the same time I've learned (if users only insisted enough ;-) that things could be solved for the satisfaction of both (users and developers). All I (speaking for many) really want is a unified GUI-Element for linenumbering which doesn't confuse and which covers all available options. Place it wherever you want, name it like you want, let it work 'under the hood' like you want., I only ask for minor surface polishment easing the work of users. Having trained many unexperienced users I've learned that it is hardly to explain why application XYZ has two dialoges for doing ABC (depending on what you want to do) residing at different places. In OOWriter I find myself always pressing F1 to teach myself everytime a-new how restarting linenumbering works and why I can't find it in \format\numbering where I expect it. Thanks for listening. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
