I have created a quick (sloppy) scenario here: http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7671/liboevolution.png Those icons on the toolbars don't give me joy any more. The "markers" or arrowheads used by the comment leader (the dashed lines) confuse the readers. Its hard to tell which text owns the comment in that phrase. Sometimes an entire paragraph may need a general comment (in addition to small comments targeted at small phrases or sentences within the paragraph). LibO still doesn't differentiate those very well. If you have the job of reading student's reports and making comments ... you'll frown at libO. Its just confusing and I've introduced LibO into our repertoire of School software in our Institution Regards Oku, O -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
