------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 11 11:19:45 +0000 2007 ------- Hi, let me briefly kick in here - first with a bit of history. Those of you able to read German :-) can check with http://de.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=21260 that ever since May 2004 I have expressed my concern about this issue and I've been going as far as demonstrating it to Ooo representatives 'on-the-spot' at the CeBIT show. Personally I consider this issue to be THE most serious issue in Ooo Impress and I agree, that it is very frustrating to see how it is handeled. However, over the years, I've also come to realize why this is so: the vast majority of people I've seen using Ooo Impress or other presentation software have only little animations - maybe one or two at most - on their viewgraphs, i.e. they use Impress like a PDF full screen viewer. This also pertains to many of the PR presentations I've seen from Ooo-team people. In that case there is no urgent need for resolution of this issue - in some sense their is no need for Impress in those cases at all. The real need for complex animation built-up on viewgraphs, and therefore also the need to go back-and-fro is mostly with scientists, university people, and maybe teachers. (While I usually don't like to do this, let me mention that I have 'some' experience here: I'm a professor of physics at a major German technical university.) It seems to me, that the Ooo-team just does not realize (or care about?) the additional 'market-share' that it could gain with users from the teaching and research part-of-life ... if this issue would be fixed. So, I'm pessimistic. In any case, while I've come to adjust myself to this annoyance in Ooo Impress, I do not recommend using it to my students - simply because of this issue. And 99% of my colleagues whom I've ask about it feel the same. Very best, Wolfram (alias 123ooofree) Btw.: my current and 2nd to most critical issue with Impress is 68812 ... also no resolution ... and many many presentation screwed up because of it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
