It's more than that: the floating toolbars in OOo2 basically are the same as the different object bars in OOo1.x, they still replace each other, but now - if you want - each of it can have a different position (by default they have the same), while in OOo1.x they allways had the same position so they appeared as if they were one toolbar with context sensitive content. And - as I said - in Ooo1.x the formatting toolbar shared this position with the object bar(s) and now has a different position by default. The toolbar concept in OOo2 is more or less "old wine in new bottles" ;-). Means: the same concept (context sensitive toolbars) in a new look. > I have not looked at MS Office too much, but when you context > sensitivity, do you mean in the floating toolbar action or as part > of the context menu? I was talking about the toolbars. The toolbars in OOo2 are still context sensitive, the object toolbar (now floating by default) still is replaced when the selected object is of a different type. You can make your toolbar environment much more similar to OOo1 by docking all object toolbars at the top of the window (below the main toolbar). Try it out, you won't see a big difference when you switch from normal text to a selected object of any kind. You will notice a difference if you put the cursor into a table. In OOo1 the table bar will replace the formatting bar while in OOo2 you see both.
