the "insert file" does that... I mean, it does: insert "text from document" as a section but it could be elaborated... cause for example you can't insert an image... which is also a "file" "file" here is ambiguous
So idea would be "change 'file' to 'text file' in insert options" I agree with it. Let's ask design team
Why do you need a section in a master document?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > Why do you need a section in a master document? Heiko, if I understand Peter correct, e searches for a way to insert text from another document in a section and he treid it via navigator (comment 0). then he recognized, that it is possible with "insert file" and he asks to make it more clear, that "insert file" means "insert text from document" (comment 1). It's just about renaming the entry, I think.
apparently it's true and master documents are limited to just text documents. However, renaming "File" to "Text Document" sounds wrong with the "New Document" below. And "Text File" means rather ASCII.
(In reply to peter josvai from comment #1) > insert "text from document" as a section And that is the whole idea of master documents?
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The idea is to label "Insert" from the popup menu the same as Insert > Text from File... However, the first inserts a document into a section and the other as text. We pondered over naming it "Text Document" (since Insert is the tooltip of the menu button) but this might be confused with ordinary ASCII text. And ultimately any label is not a solution to the program - using master documents require to read the help and to become familiar with the workflow. => NAB
