dvo->agliodbs: Why? You have a writing mode (left-ro-right, right-to-left) at the paragraph (and also with pages frames, which can also be top-to-bottom) which determines how the paragraph as a whole is laid out. You also have a character attribute which allows you to rotate individual text runs different from the main text layout. AFAIK, the writing mode also contains some 'fancy' stuff like doing hebrew right-to-left and embedded numbers left-to-right, while the rotation will rotate just anything. Those are two things (and apparently useful one for certain languages). I don't see an inconsistency. Josh, if you disagree on the feature (i.e. on what we do), you might want to reassign this to ft@openoffice.org (Falko). If you agree with the feature but think the implementation is wrong (i.e. on how we do it), you might want to reassign this to fme@openoffice.org (Frank). FME->agliodbs: How should the layout look like if your first paragraph is vertical, second is horizontal, third is vertical and so on? Frank, I'm not sure; I can't imagine any format that would not require user intervention to decide where vertical text should go. Further, carriage returns do bizarre things in the current implementation of vertical text. So vertical paragraphs are currently not possible. So maybe we should leave things as they are. Sorry to bother everybody. -Josh As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details.
