</div>But that change doesn't improve anything at all. I immediately<br>
understand what the difference between "left-to-right" and<br>
"right-to-left (vertical)" means, but what the heck is "horizontal"?<br>
that could also be right-to-left, and more importantly: Vertical could<br>
also be left-to-right written vertically.<br></blockquote><div><br>These options doesn't touch the text directionality (RTL/LTR) but only decide whether it goes horizontally or vertically. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

So I don't see any benefit in changing those. (on the contrary, it<br>
would replace clear labels with "need to try them to figure out what<br>
they do" ones.<br>
<br>
As for "Text direction" vs "Text orientation" - I don't really care,<br>
although I'd associate left-aligned vs right-aligned more with<br>
orientation, and the overall writing layout with direction, but then<br>
again I'm not a native speaker...<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div>I've changed this text for two reason:<br>1. To diffrenciate from the "Text direction" on the table tab (the previous tab in the same window). There the options are RTL and LTR which is right.<br>
2. To use the same terminology as other word processing software.<br><br>I hope this better explains the reasons for the patch.<br><br>Kaplan<br></div>
