Description Jay Philips 2014-09-08 15:24:02 UTC
With easy access to change the ruler measurement unit by right-clicking on the ruler, it would be great if we could right-click in the spacing and indent value fields and change the measurement unit. This facility would also be great to have in the Paragraph dialog's Indent & Spacing tab as well.

Do you really need to change the measurement unit so often that menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General is too time consuming?

Best regards. JBF

Well i like to be able to see line/paragraph spacing as point and margin/indent spacing in centimeters or inches and unfortunately there isnt an easy means of changing this without me having to jump into Tools > Options.

But even if it wasnt a person like me and he/she just wants to change it, why not have it easily accessible without having to go to options, as we have it with the ruler.
