More wishes...

Post by andygrunt »

A few more wishlist items...

1 - I'd like to be able to undock the Toolbars (individually) from the top of the window and dock them to the left or right. This would free up more vertical room on my limited laptop screen, showing more of the page.

2 - It would be good to be able to easily split into two windows on a document so one section is visible while working on another part of the same doc.

3 - Maybe automate captions to pictures a bit i.e. number them and have a dedicated style for captions (e.g. centred, italic and a small font size etc.)

4 - I'd also quite like to be able move the 'Control Board' around but this is low priority.

Thanks.

Hi,
This is not yet possible but you can achieve something very similar with the following steps:
1. Select the relevant section of document.
2. Press Ctrl+F8 to append that selection to the Clippy Bank.
3. Display the Clippy Bank "Side by Side" with the original document ("Window | View Side by Side With").
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm note sure there'll be too many circumstances when that does what I need but it's useful to keep in mind.

Cheers.

If you are not happy with the Side by Side view with the Clippy Bank, you can tile the two document windows horizontally instead.
