------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 10 16:03:29 -0700 2005 ------- OpenOffice seems to not have a concept of hanging indent; rather, first line indent is negative. For example, to hang at 1cm, set indent to 1cm, and first line indent to -1cm. This is brain damage. Fix this UI crap in format->paragraph; I don't care how the backend does it, show it to me in a smart way. Look at how Abiword does their indenting interface, or even MS Word. This is better; it separates the concepts of first line and hanging indents, instead of making the user come up with hacks on indent/first line add and subtract junk. Also see #172 and #12565 for related issues. This is most closely a duplicate of #12565, although I'm attacking the root of the problem (the UI for moving things around) directly rather than complaining about the effects. There may be other changes needed to satisfy #12565, like changing the sliders on the ruler to a triangle-triangle-tab setup like in Word/AbiWord --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
