Please be somewhat specific about what you like to have done/improved and don't have others guessing at that. Set to invalid.
Hi, I like to have a function which immediately silently hyphenates the whole document; currently there pops up a dialogue for every hyphenation the program attempts.
It is already there. In the dialog "Format / Paragraph / Text Flow" just check the option "Automatically" in the "Hyphenation" area. Also it is possible to check this option in the default Paragraph sytle/template thus you don't need to check it manually all the time. Modifying default templates (or creating new ones) should be described in the help. Please have a look if that is what you need.
oh, by immediately I was referring to a post-processing function with such a quality, not automatic run-time functionality. but anyway: thanks for the info. hmm, does the current functionality suffice? No, because IF one hadn't turned this on, it's getting tedious. This should be changed. So proposal: offer a tick-field "automatically yes/no for the rest" in the hyphenate or not asker dialogue.
TL->BH: Request for enhancement. To you.
I propose to visually distinguish auto-hyphens (which can disappear, when word slips totally in one line) and 'real' hyphens written by the user. It seems to me that there are two types of automatically inserted hyphens. 1. the auto-hyphenation hyphen (-> "Format / Paragraph / Text Flow") 2. hyphens inserted from the hyphenation dialog. These are visually distinguished Why these two types? Why not having a single hyphen type that has distinct visualization? (OOO 2.0.2) I recently used hyphenation for the first time when I was in a hurry. I have to say, that I found the hyphenation facility terrible. I had to cycle through the whole text again after I accidentally hit Cancel in the hyphenation dialog. I couldn't go back to the last word. It seemed to me that some paragraphs lost hyphenation for no reason. I didn't dare to turn on auto-hyphenation because I thought that it would insert 'hard' hyphens in the text which would not disappear in case the word slips totally into a single line.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
