Hi Lior, Thank you for the patch! It seems that it caused some misunderstanding, so maybe it might be good to CC: the UX guys for the suggestion of wording? - CC'd now.
UX guys - please have a look at Lior's suggestion; for a screenshot of what he means, see his original mail in the ML archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-October/019944.html mainly: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/attachments/20111030/9a4f3746/attachment-0001.png http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/attachments/20111030/9a4f3746/attachment-0002.obj How does that sound?
