Important Notes


What's new?

Feature title TaskId Spec. title Description Dev. owner Spec. link Component
Automatic baseline for Math objects i972   With CWS tlmath01 there is a new check-box named 'Math baseline alignment' available in the 'Formatting Aids' tab of the Writer and WriterWeb option pages. When this option gets checked then *ALL* Math OLE objects already existing in the Writer document that are anchored 'as character' (and only those with this anchor type!) will be automatically aligned to match the baseline of the formula with the one of the surrounding text. Also new Math objects inserted later on will be automatically aligned as well. As long as this option is active manually movement of Math objects that are anchored 'as character' is not possible, and thus vertical alignment in the 'Object' context dialog is now disabled as well. For new documents this option is set by default. When loading old documents it is not set. In any case, once a document gets saved again the current value of this option will be saved along with the document. This automatic baseline alignment was implemented by Michal Spisiak as part of this years Google Summer of Code, the mentor for this was Eric Bachard. Thanks to both of them! thomas.lange@sun.com   formula editor
