Reassigned. This is the most annoying missing feature for our users that need to switch from powerpoint. The only reason for them to continu using powerpoint is the text auto sizing I have a few questions for more experienced developers: 1. Any ideas on what implementing it would involve? I'm not much of a C++ coder (my day job is as a web developer) but if it's only a thousand or a few thousand lines I could give it a try. (If it's 50,000 I might have to take a pass...) 2. Obviously with a code base of 9 million lines I'd like to have someone help point me in the right direction. Anyone have any ideas of what part of the code I would have to modify? Further to my previous comment, if someone else is already working on this issue, I could have a talk with them. I think all I need is a small nudge in the right direction. peterkaufmanenator: You can get help and information concerning programming in the mailing list dev@graphics.openoffice.org. Use the mailing lists ui@ux.openoffice.org or discuss@ux.openoffice.org to discuss how the feature should work from a user point of view and get help for the spec. Could you please explain what "autoresize" does exactly? If you use a text box with option "fit to frame", what is different to the way Powerpoint does it? Hi Regina, The "fit to frame" option squeezes the text and does not only ratio font resizing. It looks awful. The default way of handling the text you type in powerpoint is to auto size (reduce the font) as soon as your text is overflowing the text box. Regards I think this is a duplicate of #43937. I think I should remove it. I'm going to close this as duplicate of issue 43937. Please move your votes, that cannot be done automatically. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 43937 *** duplicate -> closed |
