Mockup of proposed change to Paragraph dialog

(In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #26)

Proposing answers to my own questions:

> Q1. As I understand, only the label has changed from "Register-True" to
> "Page line spacing".  No functionality change.  Is that correct?
Yes.

> Q2. Is there a special reason for using "Page line spacing" in 
> Format - Page - Page, but "Follow Page line spacing" for the paragraph 
> dialogs?
No. 

> P1.  Note that Register-true is currently defined in the Glossary: 
> https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/shared/00/00000005.
> html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3147315
> 
> It would make for better consistency in the help pages (and maybe for user
> understanding) if the same label was agreed upon and followed consistently
> in the UI. I would propose that "Follow" be dropped in paraindentspacing.ui
Good idea.

> Then the Glossary could be:  Page line spacing
> or should it be:  Page linespacing  ?
It should be "Page line-spacing"  

Reasons:  
1.  "line-spacing" appears in Oxford English Dictionary, 
    "line spacing" does not.
2.  hyphen marks clearly that the relation is "Page line-spacing" 
                                      and not "Page-line spacing"

> P2. Is there any need for an "Activate" box in the paragraph dialog? 
No.

> Why not use the same simple form as the Page dialog?
Good idea.  See attachment for mockup with "current" and "proposed".

> Q3. I assume setting this for Page will supersede the setting for Paragraph
> and vice versa (i.e., if Page is set, then it is applied, regardless of
> Paragraph setting, and if set in Paragraph or Paragraph style, then applied
> regardless of how Page is set). Maybe worth mentioning that Page setting
> supersedes in a note on the help page.
Don't know about this relation, but if the assumption is true, then a note
seems appropriate.

If this analysis is correct, then I am ready to make the changes.
