Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: General Information

Hi :)
Tbh i can't see the differences in the png or the odt.  


My immediate thought is that having some things centred (such as most of the headings and the small 
stray, isolated paragraphs) does help a lot even though it might be inconsistent with other 
formatting.  It makes it more visually appealing imo.  Is there anywhere we could do 
right-justified?  


The languages paragraph looked fine to me before but the png does draw more attention to the "100 
languages".  I think the paragraph is still not quite 100% perfect though.  Perhaps changing the 
order of things to 
"The LibreOfficeuser interfaceis available in many languages: even in languages for which 
commercial software is not localized.  Support for over 100 languages and still counting." 
Hmm, no, that makes it clunky again doesn't it? :(  So i think go with Marc's change. :)

Regards from
Tom :)
