Thanks, this will please many people!

I do not think that will be much of a problem as current OOo-created ODT files
are in-house only in the organizations that I am familiar with. In fact, this
issue is one of the reasons for that. However, labs (and households) with
multiple computers will have to update all machines to OOo 3.3 together. Again,
this should not be a problem.

Why remove the terms "left" and "right" from the UI, or have any other UI
changes? As it is, it is very understandable and works exactly as expected (it
is very intuitive) other than the fact that OOo is not compatible with other
office suits. I understand that the code needs to be changed, but the UI is very
intuitive and in my opinion should be left as is, and the user experience should
remain exactly as it is.
