Bug ID: 160524
Summary: wishbug: make *switching* column quantity as easy as
left- or right-justify
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: m.hatz...@web.de
Description:
When writing in a layout with more than one column it is absolutly necessary to
be able to switch to a one column layout. Unfortunatly, to do so is so
complicated that it distracts way to much. It completly kills the workflow.
So please provide some buttons for switching between one, two, three columns in
a way like one can switch between left-justify, right-justify, centered.
For the sake of a undisturbed workflow this is the most obvious feature you
need when writing in a layout with more then one column.
thanks.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write with more than one column (lets say two or three)
2. I needed to insert a headline/text/whatever spanning over all columns
3. I needed to go to a (german) help forum to get instructions on how to
accomplish this trivial layout change (seen from my, a writers angle).
Actual Results:
I gave up instantly. Nobody (except you and your colleagues) wants to know what
is necessary in the background to switch between left- and right-justify.
The same goes for switching between number of columns. It has to be a one click
feature as the above.
Expected Results:
Please give us some suitable buttons to switch between one (spaning over the
whole page) or the preselected number of columns (be it two or three).
Yes, this will not cover all possible combinations, but will be helpfull for
the most obvious and basic needs. Feel free to make it even better ...
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Thanks!
