Hi,
I've never used Open Office, but would certainly like
to see it replace MS Office.
In the interim a feature that would definitely make
Open Office more attractive to users, especially those
who need to create or edit lengthy documents (writers,
editors, lawyers) is to have the ability to create
multiple 'tabs' within a single document (Writer).
For example, in MS Excel one can create multiple
'tabs' within the same file. So each tab can be a
different aspect of the issue and theres only a single
file name to remember, and only a single file to email
/ carry around.
This would make it really easy to compare documents,
view precedents, make notes on a separate 'tab', etc.
whilst writing articles, reports, drafting agreements,
and the like. And also retain all these together in a
single file under a single name for future reference.
Yes, one could create a folder in which to store the
multiple files but there is a risk (which happens
quite often) that one may forget to email the entire
folder. Also Windows crashes if there are too many
files open which does not seem to happen with a single
Excel file with many tabs.
Is it possible to include a feature to create multiple
tabs within a single file in Writer?
Regards,
Vineet.
Hi Vineet, I think you should try to get acquainted with our product so
you can get a better understanding of how it works. You will find that
some part of your idea are already implemented and also that we have a
framework so you can modify the code s you can develop the missing parts
to adjust it to your needs.
OOo Writer currently have a windowing system that lets you see different
parts of the same document however they are on different windows (as
opposed to tabs). We also have a compare document function and a tracking
changes function so you can either compare between different people in an
organization.
