Unfortunately i do not have a direct answer to your issue. That does not mean that there is not an answer or a work-around, merely that i do not know one. As it is an issue, not a "how do i do this" question, i suggest you follow these steps: 1. Go to the following website and search for the feature enhancement you seek. It may have already been placed as a RFE (request for enhancement). http://qa.openoffice.org/ Be aware that as OpenOffice.org is trying to cater to the greatest common denominator first, some wants though quite valid may not be high up on the list of to-do's. Technical writers are often power users of a Word Processor, and OpenOffice.org simply cannot implement all possible functions and still be a viable free download, bloat and resources prevents this. 1a. If it already exists please vote for it. 1b. If it does not exist register yourself on the site, and report your issue. 2. Consider supporting OpenOffice.org to program your requirement. This is how Open Source Software truly works. Someone with the knowhow or financial capability gets the job done. This can be accomplished in several ways. - Contributing direct to the code base of the program. - Supplying an extension that people may download. (I do not know but suspect that this modular approach is the preferred one for less commonly used enhancements.) - Financing an existing OO.o programmer to do either of the above. - Paying an external programmer to create the extension required. 3. Consider supporting the program in other ways with your expertise, for which in return, someone may develop the code you need. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
