So my question is: Is there a reason for this feature to have been removed
from the default Menubar in Impress and Draw?
As far as I remember it was removed from the Format menu in OOo2, when
the Fontwork Gallery has been introduced.
This feature is especially
useful in presentations and drawings, so I don't see why to not have this
feature in Impress/Draw and add a note to the help page about it.
It is especially useful to label connectors.
I also noticed that the Draw Guide (version 6.4) and the Writer Guide (7.1)
focus mainly on the Fontwork gallery and do not describe the features in
the aforementioned help page.
For a Writer Guide it is not really needed, but the Draw Guide should
describe it.
I would appreciate it if anyone could provide some background on why these
decisions were made, so I can update the help pages.
I don't know, why this was done, and I see no good reason to make is so
hard for the user to use it. I think the feature should be available in
a menu in Draw/Impress.

Only the name "Fontwork" is not suitable for the UI, because it is
totally different from the "Fontwork Gallery". It would be better to use
a name known from other applications, like "Text along path" or "Text on
a path". "Other applications" are e.g. Inkscape, Gimp, Illustrator,
CorelDraw.
The feature is not available in MS Office. Perhaps Sun has therefore
hidden it?
And the feature is only usable in "extended" file format. But that is no
reason to hide it. We have a lot of features, which are only usable in
"extended" file format.
Kind regards
Regina
