Description aparan 2005-01-31 09:00:32 UTC
In OO.o and OO.o writer in specific - 

The background and borders are common to the page and paragraph dialogs. Can't
these be separated from these dialogs and added to the Format menu as new
independent dialogs?  Perhaps some contextual changes might be needed.  But this
would help to lighten both the dialogs and also give the user with a general
option. 

Similarly, why the numbering is added to the paragraph dialog when there is an
individual option [better one] for working with the numberings and bullets.  

By doing this I feel the dialog boxes could be made more space conservant and
compact.

A little bit copied from MS Word... ;-)

But why not add such a menu entry like it has been done with "Format.Columns"?
Could be good addition.

As far as UI goes, I feel MS Word has been able to cater to user needs to a
great extent.  Personally, I am against the ways of Microsoft, but would commend
them for their designs of UI.  So we can take [copy ;-) ] a lot from them and
add more to that to make a GREAT software, OO.o. They also have done this
earlier, as everyone knows.
