Improving code efficiency should be the number one priority for 3.0. I
don't really care if there are no other additional features but the code
size is 20% smaller and loading is 50% quicker. Having said that, its a
lot less expensive to by 512 meg of RAM for your computer than to pay
for a MSO license.
Complete agreement. If Firefox & Thunderbird can do it.... <g>
Still, maybe by 5.0, OO.o will be good. Hell, I despised WordPerfect
before 5.0 or 5.1; since then... a few years ago, when they sorta put it
out for Linux (before M$ bought a major stake in them, and put a stake
through the heart of their Linux support), I went through all sorts of
gyrations to get it up, though it was never wonderful. If they'd put out
an inexpensive version, though, that did everything that even WP 6.0
did, I'd drop OO.o like a shot. Why? Oh, some minor things: for
pagination, there's a simple graphical menu - pick a number for where
you want your page numbers (a corner, alternating corners, bottom/top of
page), and what, if anything, you want to print around the number (so,
say, I could put name/storyname/Page x)... *and* I could *easily*
override that choice on the first page (put the page number on the
center bottom for this page only).
And, of course, you could *always* beat it into submission with F3
(reveal *ALL* codes, which you could then edit, just as you did any
other text).
