------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 12 15:46:01 +0000 2007 ------- Most people have a resolution of 1024x768, and only 26% have a resolution higher than that(1)! I'm guessing the most common monitor size is 17" (with very few larger than that). In Microsoft Word a very comfortable (and likely the most used) zoom-factor for portrait documents is 100%, which (at 1024x768 and 17") leaves only *very little* extra space on the left and right. If a landscape page exists, in OOo, this would almost always cause the portrait pages to be very noticeably non-centered (likely even along the left edge). Therefore, I think the most common case will *not* be what you claim will affect "a few percent of the users", but will be quite the opposite: it will affect the vast majority of users. It is indeed what you call the "worst case". Microsoft Word's handling is very effective: The portrait pages remain centered(!!!) and the landscape pages, if there is not enough space to be centered, are left-aligned and extend to the right as far as needed (farther than to the left). The advantages of this method are: 1. (the most common) portrait pages are centered. 2. The landscape pages are not cut off on the left (where the most relevant portion usually is) Bonus points: If the user selects zoom-level="page width", then OOo should rescale the page *as* the user scrolls from a portrait to a landscape page (and vice-versa). Microsoft Word doesn't do this (yet). ;-) (1) http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
