That's right! It would be nice if you would find the time, since I have to be a little bit busy for my PhD next time *urgently* :-( Note that this should also be done for the Paragraph dialog and the tabular dialog. The latter, however, needs some more improvement IMHO, because it's the last dialog that is still very inconsistent to the overall design. IMHO it needs OK, Cancel, Apply and Restore buttons (like the Minipage dialog) instead of this irritating close/return input behaviour. I don't know if this is too much change for 1.2.0, though. > No need to be modest about your coding skills: bask in the praise! > Keep it up, I will. Thanks. Jürgen > Angus
