Description rblackeagle 2003-08-17 02:57:23 UTC
Custom frames are almost useless as Insert > Frame does not permit the user to
select a custom frame style.  There is a workaround, but it is very imperfect.

What I would like (in case it's being missed) if for the "Insert > Frame" dialog
to have a "Based on <drop box> style" so I could pick my custom frame styles
when I set up a frame.  As it is now, I insert the frame, which automatically
uses default styles only and then have to go in and manually change the style to
my custom style.  Unfortunately, this is not a one-step process, but a rather
involved one.

Can confirm. While > Insert > Header shows a list of various styles to choose
from, > Insert > Frame doesn't.

Sorry for the late reply.  Pinkernell's description summarizes the issue for me.

I like the idea having Insert Frame like Insert Header. In fact, I think the
dialog box should show at all when inserting frame. If you set up correctly
frame styles, and if the frame style can be chosen at creation time, then it
should be exceptional to need to modify the frame properties. When needed, you
just need to double-clic on the frame, or to select Format > Frame.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
