  • 1.  Grid enhancement

    Posted 02-12-2007 11:50
    Thanks for the feedback regarding the grid enhancement proposal.
    
    The main question was “why do you use a compatibility option instead of a page style attribute?”
    
    The reason is that the objective is to disable the square grid layout mode for the whole document and not only for a certain page style.
    
    We propose to use a “either/or” mechanism instead of a “mixed” way, since that can cause problems in interoperability with OfficeOpenXML and CSS3.0.
    
    Basically the idea is that if “DisableLayoutGridSqareMode” is true then the document is compatible with OfficeOpenXML and CSS3.0 --- regarding the grid.

    P.S:
    Am I allowed to mention “OfficeOpenXML”? :-)

    Where we a few other questions, but the main concern in fact was that a 
    compatibility option may be wrong place to describe a 
    application-independent layout property, regardless whether it applies 
    to the full document, or only a page style.

    Can you please provide a link to the CSS3 specification you are 
    referring to. Thanks.
