The only reason to see tab stops and other formatting codes is if you need to *interact* with them: if you have a good set of paragraph styles the ability to "see" tab stops and other formatting codes is useless. So, all the concepts presented in this thread seems to be geared towards direct formatting. If that's the case, I'm against it. While direct formatting *seems* to be good on two page school reports, it is a nightmare when you need to create complex and well structured documents. Writer have a good tradition of tools that helps the build of complex documents (styles, styles and more styles!). What I would like to see instead of more direct formatting tools, is a redesign of the way styles are defined to easy the learning curve of new users. Relying on styles is Writer's trademark. I think we need to give even more power to this trademark instead of going the route of MSWord. Just my 2 ¢
Yes, but from an instructional point of view in the classroom, the treatment of tabs in this manner would be welcomed. It would clearly illustrate the use of tabs to the majority of students who find it confusing.
