Windows has no similar entry, and spelling full is not much informative, IMHO. Following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile "Essentially, a WMF file stores a list of function calls that have to be issued to the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) layer to display an image on screen." it's kind of screen-optimized image. Alternative perhaps "Windows vector format (GDI metafile)", but is that really better? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1423034 Title: [upstream] Improve the wording of "Paste Special" options Status in LibreOffice: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I copy a group of cells in Calc and then I choose "Paste Special" from the toolbar in either Calc or Writer, I get these terms that a normal user may not understand.
