On the right, of course.....:-) That way, both the prefix area and the next line are both a single keystroke away. From anywhere on a line, a CR takes you to the beginning of the next line, a TAB takes you to the prefix area. And then there's the human-factors aspect of wasting valuable screen real estate on the left margin where the human eye expects to find text, only to have to skip over a PDF/EDIT-style prefix area. Not to mention the presentation change when the prefix area is turned off; if it's on the right, the only difference is you might see more of each line. The text in column 1 stays in column 1. I thought this issue was settled back in the 80's ... ;-) -Chip- On 2/20/08 15:04 Dave Jones said: > On the left, of course.....:-) > > Huegel, Thomas wrote: >> Where does the prefix field belong? >> On the left? >> or >> On the right? > -------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
