------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 5 21:37:08 +0000 2007 ------- soeiro I partially agree with you but any way of showing the points that formatting, either by styles or by direct encoding would be great. Since my last comment, I have have been reading with great interest about the Open Document Foundation and their dropping support for ODF. One of the comments that I read is about the filters used between documents. If a Style or Format isn't understood by the filter, it can just be dropped. This makes sense from my experience. Now if the filter decides that it is going to drop some formatting from that imported document, some of the formatting that was inside the document could be left hanging. Now I agree that formatting should be available in OOo reveal codes, I have grown to like styles for 95% of what I create. Revealing the coding point would be a great improvement, especially when importing documents from some other editor. I look at revealing the code as being a great compromise. Now to add in the editing abilities will create it's own headaches. The biggest issue on this is the different domains of those that prefer reveal codes and those that prefer styles. From my experience with WordPerfect is that it does have a version of styles in it. Now I think and will repeat that adding Reveal Codes to OOo would make it much better than Word for most home users. Styles takes some time to learn. Most home users want and use a word processing program for those one-time documents and will never need or use have the tools of styles. Shouldn't these peoples needs be addressed? My wife who writes a lot prefers reveal codes. Is smart and has read the Styles guides, still wants Reveal Codes. What she writes today will be formatted differently than what she writes tomorrow. I like styles because I can quickly format or reformat a document that I have created. This is where styles rule. I hate styles when I have to import a document that has formatting that I do not know anything about. Now I have to find every location that the formatting has occurred. Removing all formatting and then using styles is not an option. Someday I hope that this will go beyond this discussion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
