--- Comment #9 from dietmarrudolph <[email protected]> 2011-06-11 09:00:18 --- One more comment to my message of yesterday: I understand that for purists the right paragraph margin is a fixed border. No part of a paragraph should be located to the right of the right margin, including no tabulator text. However, the placement of a tab beyond the right margin is just a crutch as implemented by Microsoft. The correct solution would be an additional paragraph property defining indents. Currently there is a left margin and a right margin specified. In addition there is an indent specified which defines the left margin for the first line of a paragraph. If this indent is negative, this will result in a "hanging indent", i.e. the first line starting to the left of the paragraph's left margin. What is needed for lists such as a table of contents or an index is another paragraph property specifying the reverse effect of a hanging indent. Where the hanging indent places text (usually numbers, bullets, glossary words) to the left of the first paragraph line, such a "reverse indent" would place text (usually a page number, price or keyword) to the right of the last paragraph line. Thus for a TOC one would define a paragraph having a right margin of e.g. 2cm with the last line having a reverse indent of -2cm - into which one could place a right-justified or decimal tab if needed. -- Configure bugmail: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Bugzilla.
