            Bug ID: 85350
           Summary: TOOLBAR: Expanding 'Insert Field' drop down with
                    submenus
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: philip...@hotmail.com

With the addition of the 'Insert Field' button to Writer's toolbar in master,
it would be useful to not only provide the insertion of the default format of
each fields, but to also provide commonly used alternatives found in the fields
dialog, as well as combinations and useful formats. This can be achieved with
sub menus.

Presently, the drop down is as follows.

Page Number
Page Count
Date
Time
Title
Author
Subject
- separator -
More Fields...

I would like to propose something along these lines for the Page Number, Date,
and Time entries.

Page Number >
 #
 # of ##
 Page #
 Page # of ##
 - separator -
 More Page Numbers...

Date >
 MM/DD/YYYY
 DD/MM/YYYY
 Day, Month DD, YYYYY
 Month DD, YYYY
 MM/DD/YY
 DD/MM/YY
 YYYY-MM-DD
 DD-MMM-YY
 MMM. DD, YY
 - separator -
 MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM
 Day, Month DD, YYYYY HH:MM AM/PM
 [...]
 - separator -
 More Dates...

Time >
 HH:MM AM/PM
 HH:MM:SS AM/PM
 HH:MM
 HH:MM:SS
 - separator -
 More Times...

These submenus are to achieve quicker access from users, so they dont have to
open the dialog to modify the format of the inserted field afterwards.
