 | 2026-10-13 | Double-clicking the top or bottom margin of a page creates its header or footer when it has none and puts the caret in it, as in Word (#960): the one that page shows (different first page, odd and even pages), only in Print Layout; one left empty is taken away again when you leave it, so nothing empty is saved. `insert.editHeader`/`insert.editFooter` take `{"page"}` for agents |
 | 2026-10-13 | Alt+numpad character codes, as in Word on Windows (#961): hold Alt, type a decimal code, release Alt — `0233` → é (Windows-1252), `233` → Θ (OEM code page 437; 850 in Western European locales and English outside the US), codes above 255 are Unicode (`8364` → €).

Text in a language outside the short list shows by name in the status bar and checked in the menu. Spelling and grammar remain English, Polish and Portuguese; text in other languages gets no marks |
+| 2026-10-12 | A list label moves with its text when the paragraph is centred or aligned to the end (it stayed at the margin), in left-to-right and right-to-left paragraphs (#1159) |
 | 2026-10-12 | RTF import now uses the RTF spec's defaults where a file names none (#902): no space before or after paragraphs, single line spacing, and the `\deff` default font, instead of WordCraft's Normal style; RTF files that relied on the old defaults open tighter, like in Word |
 | 2026-10-11 | Right-clicking a table cell offers the table's commands, and as in Word they follow the selection: with the caret in a cell Insert, Delete Cells, Split Cells, Text Direction and Table Properties…; with several cells Merge Cells instead of Split; with whole columns or rows Delete Columns or Rows, Merge Cells and Distribute Rows and Columns; with the whole table Delete Table, Distribute, AutoFit and Insert Caption…. A right-click beside selected cells moves the caret there instead of keeping them |
 | 2026-10-11 | Drags, Shift+arrows and Shift+click over table cells select whole cells, as in Word: from one cell into another the rectangle between them (bold, alignment and Delete leave the other cells alone), into or out of a table whole rows; extending again goes on from where the selection started |
