------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 21 07:21:08 +0000 2007 ------- I think I have a good solution, but I am not a coder myself. Since it has been made clear that substantial changes need to be made to Writer before this feature can be implemented, how about this?<a href='http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page'>FreeMind</a> is an open source mind mapping software written in Java. It has improving but limited abilities to export to OOo Writer. Recent developments allow one to add meta-data (attributes) to nodes. If an OOo developer could enable importing and exporting of FreeMind maps, I think most people would be happy. The reason I think this could work so well is the meta-data could be inputted (in FreeMind) to correspond to OOo Writer styles. This would mean a map could be imported and exported, whilst maintaining the structure - making the most of both programs' structuring features. This functionality would not push users away from OOo Writer, to mind mapping software. It would encourage many 'wannabe' Writer users back to the fold, because they could integrate their favourite process. Currently I use Writer, briefly, after writing the document in FreeMind, to print and archive documents. But I can't (easily) make use of styles because all the work has already been done. After exporting I am left with a 'flat document', the text is there but all the structural elements (physical styles, meta-data, sections, subsections, etc) are removed. This means I am reluctant to export to Writer at all, but it is a necessary step. I would <i>like</i> to integrate Writer into my routine more productively. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
