<pre>There are 2 ways to format a header/footer:
A) Page style dialog sub-window:
1. Open a new text document.
2. Click at Insert > Header and Footer > Header > Default Style.
3. Click into the header area.
4. Click at the blue header drop-down menu.
5. Select 'Format Header...'.
6. The Header tab of the Page Style dialog opens, click the 'More' button.
7. A dialog window with 3 tabs opens: Borders, Area, Transparency.
This dialog window is streamlined, has the same dimensions as the Page style
dialog window and includes the current improved Area tab implementation.
B) 'Border and Background...' dialog window:
1. Click back into the header area.
2. Click at the blue header drop-down menu.
3. Select 'Border and Background...'.
4. A dialog window with 2 tabs opens: Borders, Background.
This dialog seems one from older days and doesn't include neither the
Transparency tab nor the new implementation of the Area tab.
Actual result:
2 different dialog windows and one of them is outdated and provides less
options than the other dialog window.
Expected result:
Clicking at the 'More' button of the Header tab of the Page Style dialog should
open the identical dialog that opens when clicking at blue header drop-down
menu > 'Border and Background...'.
I don't know the technical reasons why there are 2 different implementations
for a UI that provides a nearly identical solution for the user.
Suggestion:
Drop the dialog window that opens after clicking at 'Border and Background...'
and--instead of that--show the dialog window that opens when clicking at the
'More' button in the Page style dialog.</pre>
