Issue 99016

Reassigned.

(Matthew McCollum 9/2/2009)

Current configuration:
     OOo-dev 3.2.0 DEV300m56 (Build: 9419)
     Windows XP Professional SP3
     Intel Pentium 4CPU 2.4GHz with 2.0GB of RAM

Steps taken to demonstrate the existence last line alignment option within Writer:

1. Launched Open Office Writer.
2. Created three separate paragraphs, each having roughly three lines in depth
on the page.
3. Pressed the key combination Ctrl A to select the entire text on the page.
4. Pressed the 'Bullets On/Off' button located in the toolbar at the top of the
screen.
5. With all of the text in the page bulletted with selection remaining, right
clicked within the selected text and chose the 'Paragraph..' option.
6. In the opened Paragraph dialog, selected the 'Alignment' tab.
7. In the options listed on the Alignment tab, selected the 'Justified' radio
button and specified the 'Last line' alignment to be 'Centered' by selecting the
'Centered' option from the combo box accompanying the 'Last line' alignment option.
8. This created a bulletted list of three paragraphs with the last line of each
paragraph being center justified.

Steps taken to illustrate the absence of the last line alignment option with
Impress:

9. Launched Open Office Impress.
10. In the Presentation wizard, selected the 'Empty Presentation' Type radio
button and pressed the 'Create' button.
11. Selected the 'Title Slide' layout from the 'Layouts' selection pane located
on the right-hand side of the Impress window.
12. Clicked on the area of the slide marked 'Click to add text' and created
three separate paragraphs, each having roughly three lines in depth in the slide.
13. Pressed the key combination Ctrl A to select the entire text in the slide.
14. Pressed the 'Bullets On/Off' button located in the toolbar at the top of the
screen.
15. With all of the text on the slide bulletted with selection remaining, right
clicked within the selected text and chose the 'Paragraph..' option.
16. In the opened Paragraph dialog, selected the 'Alignment' tab.
17. In the options listed on the Alignment tab, selected the 'Justified' radio
button and observed the absence of the 'Last line' alignment option.

     The steps taken to illustrate the absence of the last line alignment option
within Impress had much of the same look and feel as those taken to demonstrate
the existence of the last line alignment option within Writer. Other options
such as 'Font Name' and 'Font Size' selection as well as other text oriented
options share a similar look and feel between Writer and Impress. This naturally
leads the user to expect that both Impress and Writer should share the same
paragraph alignment options. For this reason, the 'Last line' paragraph
alignment option would be a value-added addition to Impress for those users with
familiarity using Writer.
