While it's unclear why it was coded that way and is definitely not intuitive, it does provide a solution. When I have the time I will add a not to the on-line help and ask Olivier to make a note for the help file in the next release. I will check out the Getting Started and Writer Guides to ensure this point is made clear in the next revisions.
