Replied there: wrong argument.

Replied there:  It breaks with the principle to bundle related functions: print
and print preview.

OK clear, thanks.

It is also about AutoInput. So that argument is not correct.

I brought forward long time ago, that the applied sequence is
File-...-Format-Tools. And all module specific menu's between Tools and Window.
So that was the originally chosen consistency.
(With the sole exception that Table was added in Writer later)
But I do not think that I prefer the one consistency over the other.

It is important that is is easy accessible. It is now since it's at top in the
submenu.
Furthermore with the change the first menu will be more cluttered.

Not yet, no. But again we face a situation where part of the entries can be
considered to apply for sheets as well as for different components, I'm afraid.
