I am just now sitting and writing a document using M$-Word-95.
The reason I cant use AbiWord is actually only Lack of Headings
numbering.
(hint)
Now, I prefere to se as much as possible of a page at a time, and I
am very
upset that the toolbars take up so much space at the top. At the
side I jave
lots of space due to the normal hight length ratio of a standard A4
paper.
I can in word (not in abiwird, hint again) move the toolbar to the
left or
right side, but then I loose the font dropdown and the paragraph
type
dropdown list, which are very essential.
My suggestion for Abiword is the possibility to have the toolbar on
the left
side and the possibility to have it wide enough to fit the
dropdowns. I cant
see any reason why they could not be that wide, as I said the 4/3
ratio of a
screen can hold the paper on the right and a wide toolbar on the
left.
BTW: for the same reason as above, I would alse like the infobar at the
bottom moveable to the suggested left side toolbar, and if possible also the
menybar.
As a last thing, if the dragbar, or whatever it is called could be turned of
the maximum vertical-size of the screen can be used for useful page layout
view.
