Ladies and Gentlemen of the Open Office Community:
This may seem like a small suggestion, but for those of us who use word
processing software almost exclusively in their day to day affairs, it
is almost an essential for productivity.
In "Writer" it seems a bit cumbersome and confusing to format an
envelope. Rather than have it a function of "insertion" you might
consider it a separate function altogether under "Format". In addition,
while not exactly necessary, to ensure timely delivery of mail the
addition of a postal bar code is an effective complement to the regular
address. There should be some provision for placing the appropriate
code above the addressee's information.
As a writer I will tell you this: OpenOffice is an excellent word
processing program. In fact it is perhaps the best I have ever used, and
I have used pretty much all of them from WordStar on my Osborne 1 in
1982 through every iteration of Word and Word Perfect on succeeding
machines. I have an instinctive appreciation for ease of writing,
running streams of consciousness through a couple of fingers into a
computer. It is one thing to work in a business atmosphere typing
whatever is necessary for the smooth operation thereof, but when your
entire life is wrapped up in a particular turn of the phrase stopping to
fool with your word processor is anathema to the process.
Best regards,
Peter Fusco
