------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 5 17:16:52 +0000 2008 ------- One thing - I don't know where to file this enhancement so that it applies to all OpenOffice programs (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base), so I filed it under Writer. Please re-file it appropriately, and sorry for the inconvenience. IMO, when most people insert a graphic into a document, and they wish to resize it, it can be safely assumed that they want the image to maintain its proportions without them having to do anything except using the mouse in the normal way to resize the image. I think there should be an option to globally make this the default behaviour (ie. without holding down the shift key), or this should be made to be the default behaviour and a shift-key-type-workaround to resize an image without maintaining its proportions (I think the latter approach would be more sensible). The only exception I can think of is a Calc-generated graph. I recently found out how to alter an image's dimensions proportionally without having to tick boxes and type in figures manually, so at least I have a workaround for this issue. It doesn't seem to be common knowledge, judging by the lack of responses here (though admittedly I didn't explicitly ask for such a workaround): http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=303626 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
