+1 I think there are some principles of operation in OO which should either be implemented consistently (as it is so far) or replaced by new, better principles. There should not be any half measures. One of these principles is: if there is a setting that allows to switch a function on and off, the default state should always be the switched on function, BECAUSE this ensures that the user is automatically informed about the function. greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
