While working on bug 138172 I noticed that both Draw's and Impress's Format menu have a pair (but different pair) of submenu items with the same text. For Impress, we have: Format > Align corresponding to uno:TextAlign in GenericCommands Format > Align corresponding to uno:ObjectAlign in GenericCommands For Draw, we have: Format > Text corresponding to uno:FormatTextMenu in GenericCommands Format > Text... corresponding to uno:TextAttributes in DrawImpressCommands This is less than ideal. Can we change their labels to diffrentiate them better? Are these labels used in other places than the main menus? I understand that different modules already share the same label in their main menus, e.g. the Format > Align for uno:TextAlign mentioned above appear in all of Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw (but Draw doesn't have Format > Align for uno:ObjectAlign, and therefore doesn't have the same problem as Impress does -- it puts that command in Shape > Align instead), but don't know if they are used in context menus, or sidebars, etc. This happens in both 6.4.7 and master (daily build of Nov. 12th).
.uno:TextAlign and .uno:ObjectAlign are used all over the menus. We could rename it to "Align Text" and "Align Objects". This would also affect Writer (Format > Align), for example.

Created attachment 167388 [details] Screenshot of Impress's and Draw's Format menu (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #3) > screenshot pls maybe :) ? Sure, attached.
(In reply to Ming Hua from comment #4) > Sure, attached. Thanks Ming Hua. Now I understand it. (Hence I change the summary ;) ) I support the idea to improve that. Only when Icons are set in menu's, you see some difference.
Yes, let's do. Clearly an easyhack.
The two Align submenus were also discussed at bug 134739. As this report has a wider scope ("Align" & "Text"/"Text..."), I'll mark the other bug as a duplicate.
