I suggested sometime ago that the master document could import files from other parts of OpenOffice.org such as spreadsheets and presentations.

Master documents can import either complete files or sections from that file into a master document. Since OOo is so integrated with each other. It could be possible to import sections of a spread sheet or drawing into a master document.

This will revolutionate the collaborative working since you can get your accounting department encapsulate the graphs of real time spreadsheets and be linked to a masterdocument that reports all the financials, operative material as well as current news. The master document will be something similar to a 'portal' document.


I like this idea a lot. On a somewhat related note I would like to see a "Page View" in Calc. What I mean is that in Writer and Draw you see what looks like a clean sheet of paper to start with. You can clearly see what the final output will look like. In Calc (or Excel, for that matter) it's very difficult to format the output because the only way to see the final layout on paper is via Print Preview. Page Break Preview doesn't really do it, because you can't tell where the content is in relation to the margins.

The reason this relates to Alexandro's comment is that to insert a "Page" from a spreadsheet, it would be very helpful to have that entity more clearly defined.
