If I'm a first-time user, I don't want to have to "guess" or go on a hunt
through several levels of clicks to find what I need.  I've said it

My specific objections and ideas have been posted here:
   http://website.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=7274
and here:
   http://website.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=7486

And a mockup of a revision is still at these URLs, which both go to the
