Version: KOffice 1.3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux In KWord: Frames -> Frame/Frameset Properties... If Text is Too Long for Frame: second option is labeled: Resize last frame - The dialog asks what to do when *the current frame* becomes too full. I'd expect it to resize *the current frame* Could this be changed to: Resize Frame or Resize Current Frame?

There isn't always a "current" frame in that frameset (e.g. what if you change the size of the font in the style manager?). The layouting of the text has to be consistent where-ever the cursor is. So in case of chained text frames, only the last one can grow. But in case of a single text frame, I can see how the name can be a bit confusing. Was this report about the naming being confusing, or about the feature not working the way you would want? i.e. are you using chained text frames?
The report was about the confusing name. And yes I used chained frames. I used a single frame as well ... I'm translating the doc and to get everything right I have to try every feature. I'll add an explanation about the single frame. Thank you :)
> I'm translating the doc and to get everything right I have to try every feature. I see. Good approach :) I'll close the report then, I think the naming is OK. Hmm, a Whatsthis might be a good idea though, indeed. I'll add that.
For me it's the only appraoch that works ... I have to see it before I can describe it ... :) Thanks again :)
