test file to experiment with Left and Right

Have attached a test file (a paragraph with four shapes) that can be used for
testing.

How to play the game.  Place your cursor ANYWHERE in the paragraph. Use line
break, with LEFT or RIGHT.  Before clicking OK, predict what will happen.

Meanwhile ... started to think about what labels to use for "Left" and "Right".

If my rules are correct then the Restart position is:

Left = After all objects to left of cursor position
Right = After all objects to right of cursor position

----

Would the following be minimally acceptable in the dropdown box? 

Left objects
Right objects

In the context of the dialog box, you have chosen "Line break" and then click
in the "Restart position" dropdown box. The "cue" of "Left objects" is to
remind/highlight:  Objects to the left of the cursor position. 

The assumption is that after you have read the excellent help page and
understand how it works (or now I have more or less written possible extended
tooltips), then (a) you place your cursor in the paragraph where you want the
break, and (b) choose "Left objects", which reminds you -- all objects to the
left of the cursor.

Left/Right alone seems too minimal, because it does not remind that left/right
is about "objects in relation to cursor"

I guess that is my opinion for now.
