<pre>there are 3 things that could be improved around the INSERT SECTION (from file)
functionality
#1 when in the edit section we opt "remove section", it should be removed not
merged into the text... (these are two totally different options, both great
and useful, but different, aren't they?)
#2 when a section has been inserted as a linked document, sure, we can see its
borders clearly, but writing even a space or a new line before the section
should be made easy... especially when that section is at the very beginning of
the text, that is, when above the text there is only the header ...
or when there are two consecutive sections without even a space in between ...
#3 the concept is already pretty clear about inserting text
b.) from file
c.) as a section
a.) or just inserting a section
however, under the "LINK" checkbox there is the "DDE" otion... which in my
experience takes the user way out of what they think to be the context :)
I, for example, have to google... then find some explanation...
then I don't understand why it is regarding calc... not writer..
also dynamic data exchange pretty sounds like what insert file as a section
is..
that is, not embedding the text but maintaining a link, a reference to a
file...
so, I'm usually reading for about 5 minutes till I realize that when DDE is
enabled, the field below it will change from a file reference to a command...
ANYWAY: I'm only trying to illustrate that DDE is kind of off context when
you're inserting a file's text as a section... and it should be somehow
separated...
or / and having a "?" and a brief explanation...
cause as it is now, it is misleading... making you think that what you want to
do has a 3rd way, too... (or 4th?)
