------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Feb 2 00:50:03 +0000 2010 ------- My wife translates subtitles for tv programs in Brazil. She currently uses Winword but now plans to swap to OOoWriter in her new laptop, but we've noticed that OOoWriter does not count characters per line in the status bar, as Winword does. She needs this features because tv subtitles are limited to 32 characters (with spaces) per line. Is there a way to make the status bar show characters per line in OOoWriter? Also, both of these programs measure lines by linear length, and there's a good reason for that, of course. But could there be a plugin that would count characters per line and produce a behaviour when a certain limit is reached? For instance, in my wife's case, every time she types in 32 characters, there could be a visual warning, or the cursor could insert a line break and move down to the line below. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
