------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 12 18:33:01 +0000 2008 ------- Thank you for the valued comments. Needs: 1) To refer to a different part of a document 2) To refer to a beginning and ending part of an area Measures: a) split-window b) two windows We are not required to choose one of them. We could incorporate both of them and leave users a chance to choose it. Specifications: = How to split a window = In horizontal writing, a window should be split horizontally into upper part and lower part. In vertical writing, a window should be split vertically into left part and right part. Word 2003 splits a window horizontally in vertical writing. It is really mess. Imagine that you are working on an English document, what do you feel if the window gets split vertically and both parts of window has a horizontal scroll bar. You should move it back and forth to see an entire line. If we try to introduce split-window, we should consider vertical writing, too. = Selection = To select a region, locate a cursor somewhere in the split-window A and then locate a cursor somewhere in the split-window B with holding a Shift key. Word 2003 does not work in such a way. An attempt of locating a cursor fails, but simply makes a focus changed to the target window. If we try to incorporate split-window, it would be better to take care of selection. = Short cut key = To switch window, somewhat better short cut key or key sequence might be needed. With Word 2003, an attempt of switching between split-windows by Alt-TAB fails. That short cut key brings us to other application's window. Is there any convenience short cut key already incorporated on Word 2003 or 2007? If we want to proceed this issue, we would need more user scenarios and discuss them and devise their solutions. We could refer to other software, but would not need to exactly mimic other software. For instance, specs of split-window of Word might be defined under the circumstances of small (800 x 600) screen in the 8 or 16 bit era. In comparison, we are currently living in 64 bit era with more than 1000 dot resolution screen, We do not need to follow such traditional, conventional, outdated, ... specifications. In addition, we should concentrate on what users and customers desire. User means those who use a software on a daily basis while customer means those who decide what software is chosen and give an approval of plan and/or budget. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
