I have no problem with some changes in the interface where they are helpful. For instance: The way that page styles are applied is very counter-intuitive. We get dozens of posts in the forums about how to make a document with a heading on all pages except the first, and

So, Tor, what is your point of view on UI changes? I am all in favour of changing the UI, but I am fully aware that I am not an expert in UI issues, and don't claim to know how it should be changed. (Also, I am a programmer, not an office software user; I actually use LibreOffice (or OOo) for
