Feature request

Post by HeatherKay »

I would like tab and indent settings to be measured from the current margin point, rather than the page origin. Or, at least, a preference to switch between the current setting and my request.

I was trying to set hanging indents today, and was a little confused by double-clicking the indent markers to find the numbers didn't meet my expectations of starting at the margin (like most DTP apps). My brain wasn't up to calculating the differences at that stage, so I went back to manually moving the markers on the ruler.

Of course, someone will now tell me I can reset the origin to my heart's content already. :wink:

Hi Heather:

I'm not sure if this exactly fits your need, but the next release of Express will show both the offset from the edge of the page and the offset from the margin when you drag the indent markers.

I'll see when it arrives.

It's not a show stopper for me - I don't do this kind of thing very often in NWE, but it would be nice.

Cheers!

Heather
