The virtue of opensource is that if somebody has the desire and the ability to create something different, they can do so. In this instance, if you can create themes for OOo, do so. > 2. creating custom colours for backgrounds of pages and cells (in Calc) > could come in handy They can be created in ">Tools >Options >Colours", if you want to do it the hard way.

I haven't yet used the new charts, despite the fact that it finally implements the type of chart that is standard in my field. > 2. The borders of shapes can and should be improved with the next release. This needs some clarification. Are you talking about the shapes in the gallery, or the shapes that are in Draw for editing, or something else? > 3. OpenOffice should at least try to import the new version of Word's file, There are several patent issues involved with implementing DocX. That said, Some versions of OOo can import DocX documents. (How well is a separate issue.) > 4. Styles and Formatting window could maybe show the text in it's style I'm not sure what you mean here. > 5. It would be nice if the text was rendered like MS Word For those who haven't used Microsoft products since the days of TandyBasic, and the Trash80, in what way does MS Word render text that OOo doesn't do? xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
