Hello,
John --
First, thanks for your comments. OOo needs as many comments as possible.
Secondly, a little friendly critique. Your suggestions, to me at least,
are too vague. I will explain under each point, but try to more specific
and explain what you did.
Thirdly, I believe both of these things are possible. Before you post a
missing feature, please make sure it is missing. There are many way to
get OOo information without too much work.
1) Use OOo help.
2) Go to <<documentation.openoffice.org>>. Search the *docs*, *FAQs* and
*How To's*. Many questions are already answered.
3) Scan the mailing list archives for related messages. You can search
the users list here <<http://tinyurl.com/6edyk>>.
4) Use Google or other search engine.
5) If these fail, then ask on an appropriate list.
These tips are expanded upon at <<http://tinyurl.com/3qy4k>>.
Now, to the line by line...
The styles funcionality in the Beta of OoO is funny, and thereby
annoying, in two respects:
1. You can't include bullets as part of the style! (Or if you can it's
not at all obvious.)
In the format properties dialog, have you tried clicking the /Numbering/
tab? You have to have a numbering styles (with bullets), but that is
just good form.
2. You can't find/replace by style.
What kind of style do you want to search for (there are 5)? You can
search for paragraph styles at a minimum.
At the bottom of the search and replace dialog, click more options then
styles.
I wonder if anyone is looking at that (not that I can, but they would be
great features for OoO 2.0)?
People do read this list, but most won't respond without more detail in
the original message.
Best wishes and thanks,
I would suggest checking out
