Description lavir_the_whiolet 2008-12-01 10:11:08 UTC 
Please implement discrete moving of markers in Writer's rulers (like in MS 
Word).

Reassigned to requirements.

Description unfathomable.

Hey, I need it! :D

See how indention is adjusted in MS Word: http://whitesoft.dyndns.org/Rulers_adjustment_in_MS_Word.mp4 . The marker is moving discretely: 0.00cm, 0.25cm, 0.50cm, 0.75cm, 1.00cm etc.

And compare it with OO Writer: http://whitesoft.dyndns.org/Rulers_adjustment_in_Apache_Open_Office_Writer.mp4 . The marker is moving smoothly. So, for example, I can set indention to 0.1087123cm, 0.37743cm, 0.44387899cm, but it is difficult to set the marker exactly to 0.50 cm or to 1.00cm.

Comment 3, unlike original description, is clear - thank you!

You can also double-click anywhere on the horizontal ruler, and adjust the indents in the Paragraph dialog.

Or create custom paragraph style with the desired discrete value.

But it's inconvenient!

OK - let's see what other people think.
