<span class="quote">> Properties -> Formatting</span >
-1 from me because properties is a better fit in my view than formatting and
1. 'Formatting' is a verb, while sidebar labels are nouns (e.g. Gallery)
2. 'Formatting' make some content panels labels less understandable (e.g.
Style)
3. we use properties in the menu (e.g. Format > Image > Properties)
4. we use it in the context menu (e.g. Frame > right-click > Properties)
5. not all things in the deck can be classified as formatting (e.g.
locking/unlocking the position of a shape [<a class="bz_bug_link

Harald suggest 'Format' and similar to 'Formatting' it isnt a better fit in my
view than 'Properties', but
1. we use it in the menu
2. iWork uses it[1], though it has content panels like 'Text', 'Image' which
make sense and our content panels of 'Style' and 'Character' makes less sense
when used

<span class="quote">> Styles and Formatting -> Styles</span >
+1 as most sidebar deck labels are single words and i never understood why even
in the old days of it being a floating window it had 'and Formatting' in the
name.</pre>
