Description: Insert section includes columns so maybe rename the menu entry Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Insert -> Section Actual Results: Insert -> Section Expected Results: Maybe "section or column" instead of 'section' only to make it more self-explaining.. Still kind of struggle with the workflow. Insert -> Section has a column tab & there is a Format -> Column entry which not only 'formatting' but also inserting columns. And looks like a copy of Insert -> Section -> Column tab Except in this case the columns come without section.. however not sure if there are practical consequences being a section or not Else Format -> Column could point to Insert -> Section dialog, column tab Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 32fdb8eb3506bc8dcf013cc713fe8e5debceb940 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Format > Columns has a different scope. Look at the drop-down-list "Apply to". If nothing is selected, it has only "Page". But if you have selected some paragraphs it has the items "Section" and "Page". In case of "Section" it transforms the marked paragraphs to section content and at the same time set columns for this section. On the other hand Insert > Section allows to insert an empty section or section which links to a document in addition to set columns for some selected paragraphs. You need columns for sections, if you want to design as usual for magazines and newspapers, where the heading goes over several columns. That is not possible if you use sections on the page.
