[lingucomponent-issues] [Issue 100269] Allow capital words from standard.dic after punctuation
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100269 --- Additional comments from paddylan...@openoffice.org Thu Oct 14 13:42:05 + 2010 --- @mb2008: I would agree that this is more a level of a bug than an enhancement. It's more than a simple distraction; I edit a magazine, and the frequent false positives hinder my work flow. @mb2008: A word added to a dictionary in lowercase should only be accepted as correct in lowercase EXCEPT at the beginning of a sentence/paragraph That would make it difficult to use words that are capitalised for other reasons, e.g. the title of a book, in a heading, a company name, or a person's name (e.g. Grace is a common girl's name in various parts of the English-speaking world). Also, in English, words can be capitalised for several reasons, not just after a full stop (period) but also (for example) after a colon, a quotation mark, even a semi-colon, and of course on the start of every new line in a poem (frequently in the middle of a sentence). These days, there are also times when a sentence does *not* start with a capital letter, specifically funny proper nouns, e.g. eBay made a profit in the first quarter. English is so flexible that you cannot make hard-and-fast rules. Putting in a rule to stop capitalisation in a sentence (or to force it at the start of a sentence) belongs to a grammar checker rather than a spell-checker. Which means we have to add a number 4: 4. Whenever you add a word with at least one lowercase letter, and at least one capital letter after the start, accept the word only exactly as typed unless subsequently added otherwise. E.g., eBay, CoL (cost of living). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I would say both of them should become word breaking again. Absolutely: Both em-dash and en-dash are word breaking. That's how they worked before, and how they should continue to work. The en-dash is not a replacement for a hyphen, because they perform different roles. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

One odd thing (which is not a problem, just curious) is that when a word is misspelled, it highlights both words and the em-dash or en-dash. But when the word is corrected, it correctly removes the red line. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Some people -- e.g. those using Mac (it happened to me today!) -- don't know about using the extra 'x'. I couldn't open the file at all, not knowing about the Filter Selection, and I had to ask the sender to send it in a different format. (Of course, now I know how to open it, but think about how many people in the world will be saying, OpenOffice says it can open Microsoft Word documents, but look, it can't!) If OO can't open a .doc file, please let it automatically check whether the MS Word 2007 XML format would work. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 100311] Column width adjustments do not work with tables wider than margins

Refer to the forum http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7t=16615 REPRODUCE I've used an example to illustrate. A. Create a table wider than the text margins. 1. In a text document, Format - Page... - Margins. 2. Set all Margins to 1.00. 3. Create a table with three columns and a few rows. 4. Drag the left and right table margins so that they exceed the text margins. B. Attempt to adjust the column widths. 1. Place your cursor in any cell in the table. 2. Table - Table Properties... - Columns. 3. Adapt table width - ticked or unticked, both don't work. 4. Attempt to set the Column widths to 3.00, 2.00 and 2.50. Whatever you do, Writer will alter your settings. Incidentally, if you have set your table alignment to Center (Table - Table Properties - Alignment - Center), Writer will change this to Manual. This is not a big problem, because you can set it back again, but it is an irritation. WORKAROUND You can adjust the table when the text margins are wider than the table. So, in our example: A. Change the page width 1. Format - Page... - Paper format - Landscape B. Adjust the table 1. Table - Table Properties... - Columns 2. Adapt table width - tick 3. Set Column widths to 3.00, 2.00 and 2.50 4. Table - Table Properties... - Table - Alignment - Center (if desired) C. Revert the page width 1. Format - Page... - Paper format - Portrait - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Whenever you add a word in lowercase, then the spell checker should accept it lowercase, with a capital first letter, and all uppercase. 2. Whenever you add a word with a capital first letter, the spell checker should accept it both with a capital first letter and all uppercase, but not all lowercase (because it could be a proper noun) -- unless you subsequently add it all lowercase. 3. Whenever you add a word all uppercase, the spell checker should accept it only all uppercase (because it could be an acronym) -- unless you subsequently add it with a capital first letter or all lowercase. This would save the spell checker from having to worry about punctuation. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 99048] Cannot view or undo filter changes to a picture
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99048 Issue #|99048 Summary|Cannot view or undo filter changes to a picture Component|Word processor Version|OOo 3.0.1 Platform|All URL| OS/Version|All Status|UNCONFIRMED Status whiteboard| Keywords| Resolution| Issue type|DEFECT Priority|P3 Subcomponent|formatting Assigned to|writerneedsconfirm Reported by|paddylandau --- Additional comments from paddylan...@openoffice.org Mon Feb 9 15:01:34 + 2009 --- If you change a picture with a filter, e.g. using the Sharpen tool, then these changes cannot be undone once you've saved a document and re-opened it, or after the undo cache has been cleared (e.g. after updating a table of contents). OO saves the changed picture in the .odt file -- even if the picture was linked. This means that: * If you link a picture and then later change the original picture, when you re-open the document, OO will not reload the new picture. * Likewise, even if you link a picture, OO saves the picture in the .odt file, so the .odt file is made larger. * You cannot see what effects you've applied to a picture. * To undo any changes to a picture, you need to delete the picture from the document and reload it. Please also refer to http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7t=15240 Tested on OpenOffice Writer 3.0.1 on both Windows Vista and Ubuntu Hardy. To reproduce, first example: 1. Insert - Picture - From File... - (choose a picture, e.g. a JPEG) - Link (tick the box) 2. Make filter changes to the picture, e.g. from the Picture toolbar, choose Filter - Sharpen. At this point, you can undo. However... 3. Save. 4. Close the document. If you open the document as a ZIP file, you'll notice that the changed picture is saved, i.e. not the original picture. 5. Open the document. There is no way to tell what filter tools you've used, nor can you undo the filters. 6. Close the document. 7. Change the original picture. 8. Open the document. You'll notice that OO has not reloaded the new picture, but still shows the old picture. To reproduce, second example: - Identical to the first example, except do not link, as follows: 1. Insert - Picture - From File... - (choose a picture) - Link (do *not* tick the box) Steps 2-5 are the same as for the first example. Steps 6-8 are not relevant. What would be more useful: -- It would be more useful to store the original picture (if not linked) or to never store the picture (if linked) in the .odt file, and instead store what needs to be done to the picture. I realise that this would mean a little extra CPU time every time the document was opened, but with today's computers, it's no more than a fraction of a second. At a minimum, allow the user to reset the picture to its default. Preferably, also allow the user to see what filter tools have been applied already and to change those tools (e.g. change the sharpen and soften tools to show a number, e.g. positive for sharpen and negative for soften). The original picture is always being worked on, so there will be no loss of quality even if the user frequently changes his mind. Advantages -- 1. For a linked picture, OO will always load the latest version and apply the chosen filters. 2. For a linked picture, OO will not store the picture, allowing the .odt file to remain small. 3. The user will be able to undo or change any filters at any time. 4. The user will be able to see what changes have already been made. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 99011] Request option to turn off snap-to-graphics

This is independent of the existing snap-to option in Tools - Options - OpenOffice Writer - Grid - Snap to grid, and it cannot be turned off. Example: 1. Create a rectangle (or insert a picture or clip-art). 2. Grab the rectangle to move it just a fraction to the right (or left or up or down). While you can move it larger distances, and then finely place it, you cannot move it just a small fraction, because of the snap-to feature. I would like to see an extra option, say Snap to graphic, which I can turn on or off.
