Description Tuomas Hietala 2024-08-05 19:39:43 UTC
Description:
The Text along Path functionality in Draw and Impress has its own Help page:
https://help.libreoffice.org/24.8/en-US/text/shared/01/05280000.html

However, there's no link from the Text along Path dialog to the Help page. Adding a Help button to the dialog would make the Help page more discoverable.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Draw or Impress, select Format -> Text along Path.



Actual Results:
The Help page cannot be accessed directly from the dialog.

Expected Results:
There's a button on the dialog that takes the user to the Help page.


Reproducible: Always

Verified.

Note: the dialog is dockable.

Dialog is: svx/uiconfig/ui/dockingfontwork.ui

Selecting one of the widget and pressing F1 opens the right Help page.
