Problem description: 

This is a very small "bug". In the Frame formatting dialog, in the "Type" tab, "size" shows the options "Automatic" for width and "AutoSize" for height. I believe they have the same function. Two different names make it confusing for the user.

In my opinion, "Automatic" should be preferred, we do not need to create a new word here...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a frame
2. Right click on its edge and select "Frame..."
3. Select the tab "Type"

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
