------- Additional comments from dominuss...@openoffice.org Thu Feb 17 03:37:12 +0000 2011 ------- Even using styles, the main issue for me is that there's no way (I know of) to calculate how far a tab stop is. If there's a conversion calculator between cm/in to tabs then let me know. So, even using styles, one has to pull out one's calculator and say "okay, I want something to be right aligned two tab stops from the right margin and there are X tabs to a page and N cm per tab at Z pt font so I need to set the right stop to (n*x - 2*n) cm which works out to..." like, seriously, I've had to do this. What's worse, the ruler in OO.org/LO **marks tab intervals** so the program basically taunts you when you try to align your margin or stop to it (and conveniently disappears if you go too far past it). So, my point is that the styles 'workaround' wouldn't work even if I tried to make it. Parting thought: people think in relative points "X Qs to the right from this and Y Qs above something else." Computers think in absolutes of "X Qs from (0,0), which is located at the top left-hand corner of the bounding frame." All positioning in OO.org/LO is calculated from the page origin, which is located at the top left-hand corner of the page. Therefore, OO.org/LO is designed for computer typists and not humans! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
