I can give at least 2 examples : - mailmerge functionality (incomplete / non-functional / previously working functionality removed) ; - parameterised queries : the built-in help seems to be way out of sync with reality, due to problems in the OOo SQL parser. I could go on, but it would only depress me further ;-) Alex -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
