correction: bug 149653 in OP should have been bug 149635 Created attachment 185484 [details] Screenshot MSO (In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #0) > 2. Before proposing to find another label, let me ask if the "Chapter" > option is needed in this dialog. Heading > Chapter omits the separator like "1.1" vs "1.1:". But I'd naively like you expect that all three Number options return different results. MSO does not list Chapter for any type. Regina, Mike: any insights? The dialog is read in sw/source/ui/fldui/fldref.cxx with a quite complex code. Apparently neither me nor anyone else from UX can answer your question. Beyond the functionality/behavior of "Chapter" is its "label" (which is misleading in relation to the current behavior). Propose: Chapter -> Paragraph number because this option displays the number of the heading (if numbering is chosen in Tools - Heading Numbering) or the number of the list paragraph. This proposal is meant as a temporary improvement (to remove the word "Chapter" and give a better indication of what happens with this option). Maybe later this option will still be dropped, because its functionality duplicates one of the "Number (no/full context)" options. But until then... (In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #5) > Propose: Chapter -> Paragraph number "Paragraph number" is something entirely new, and having a huge confusion potential. Reading such a phrase, I'd imagine a sequential number of all paragraphs in a document... Simply "Numbering"? (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #6) > Reading such a phrase, I'd imagine a sequential number of all... You do not have to imagine. In the context of this dialog, you must select one relevant paragraph in the "Selection" box. I notice the "Chapter" also appears as an option for Type "Bookmarks". Is it ever possible to use this "refer using" option for this type? |
