<span class="quote">> This is my first feature request...</span >
Congratulations! And many thanks for your enhancement ideas.
<span class="quote">> 1. Make the Name box resizable, so it can be made larger.</span >
The "name box" as the tooltip calls it is a dropdown control. Those are static
controls, sized for the best fit (e.g. made smaller recently for <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - TOOLBAR: Reducing the width of the chart element selector control in Chart"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=90487">bug 90487</a>).
There are no means for a dynamical resizing, i.e. a splitter on the right side
where you can adjust the width to your needs (and that would affect all
toolbars).
While suggestion for a solution is great you should always make clear what the
issue is (use case). Guess you cannot read long names, and a (bad) alternative
could be to abbreviate the text with ellipsis.
<span class="quote">> 2. Only show names that are applicable to the sheet. </span >
Ideally you add an exemplary sheet for this issue.
<span class="quote">> 1. Add a Value column to show the contents of the named variable (Range or
> formula expression).</span >
Sheet > Named Ranges and Expressions > Manage (ctrl+F3); such a column can
become really large and you jump to the position on selection. So what's the
advantage?</pre>
