Description imforumman 2005-11-02 17:26:24 UTC 
Writer has lots of good formatting features, but two very simple yet awesomely
powerful commands have not found their way into 2.0 (and even though a
workaround exists, one of these features can be seen as a regression from 1.x).

Flush Right: anything from this code onwards until the next line break is
aligned to the right margin.

Center: anything from this code onwards until the next line break is aligned to
the center of the page.

The beauty of these *line* formatting commands lies in the ability to combine
these commands on one single line. This leads to the possibility of having part
of the same line aligned left, then a part centered, and another to the right.

WP is able to this since at least version 5 (DOS!) with no other word processer
ever having implemented this feature in such a simple manner. I will attach a
sample.

In response to the Bug-squash:

Beta 3.0 still does not have a simple Flush-Right command. I won't even mention
Reveal-Codes.

IMHO both still reasons to stick to WP.
