Sergio Hi Sergio, Since you are not subscribed to this mailing list you may not have seen all the replies to your post. You can check the archives http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/discuss/archive/2011-06/message/30 As another list subscriber has already indicated, this is a general discussion list and very few, if any, developers read posts to this list. The correct place to submit a RFE (Request For Enhancement) is the QA Project: http://qa.openoffice.org/ Our original sponsors (Sun/Oracle) recently donated the OpenOffice.org project to the Apache Foundation. Due to numerous licensing issues and the need for a massive structural reorganisation, it seems unlikely that a version of the re-branded Apache OpenOffice will be released within the next 6-12 months. Yet another list subscriber suggested that you might consider testing LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org/ from the Document Foundation http://www.documentfoundation.org/ You may find this to be a better short or long term option, because LibreOffice includes features and enhancements that our original sponsors would not incorporate into OpenOffice.org Dave

Sergio If you are looking for improvements in the near future (less than a year) you are probably looking in the wrong place here. you would stand a much better chance at the fork of OpenOffice, which is called LibreOffice from The Document Foundation. Development is progressing much faster there, and they know well that Impress is by far the weakest link in the suite of functions that make up the office package. Under Sun and then Oracle development on Impress was given a low priority by corporate management. Now that LibreOffice is being developed by an all volunteer community it is up to the developers and not corporate management to decide what gets improved what gets ignored. -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

That barely matters here anymore. Oracle are giving OpenOffice.org away. Presumably they are either firing or transfering the developers to other products. I have not heard that they will continue to be major supporters in development of the product. -- Michael -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

The correct method is through the bug tracker process. This process is made relatively complex to prevent frivalous, unresearched and inexpert FER's from being lodged. The feature gap between Office and OpenOffice.org is well known but is more than compensated for by the market and TCO price difference.

FC I don't know if I would call it infiltrating, I have been on this mail list for over 10 years now, and really I am just being realistic. Without any paid corporate developers (the crew in Germany) at the moment, not much is likely to happen very fast. I will admit that I am on the TDF Discuss mail list as well as this one, and I have downloaded and am using LO. Development is proceeding much faster on the LO fork. Perhaps Apache will succeed in doing something with the OOo code, but that won't happen overnight. -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
