The current method is to have a paragraph style with enough space above and below to make it exactly 2 lines high. The chain graphic in the middle is actually a character from a dingbat font, and it must be inserted manually for each instance. This method works well, but if the graphic element is to be changed, it must be changed manually for every such paragraph in the document. The proposed enhancement would have the following work flow to create the same effect: 1. Create the new paragraph style (call it Scene Separator). 2. Set the Alignment to centre. 3. In the Area -> Bitmap dialogue select the dingbat font and the text (a letter 'f' in this case). 4. Create the bitmap. 5. Adjust the existing area parameters so that the new bitmap shows up in a pleasing way. Now the Scene Separator can simply be inserted where needed in the document. To change the graphic element, simply modify the paragraph style to create a new bitmap and use it. The ability to enter several characters shouldn't change the required code significantly as the whole string becomes one bitmap.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
