I really enjoy using the Open Office suite for my professional
writing but I find the fields provided in the bibliography are too
short for many of the scientific papers I want to enter. Some
examples are:
Title: "Proceedings: hidden forest values. The first Alaska-Wide
nontimber forest productsconference and tour November 8-11, 2001"
(note, the convention for this type of citation includes the
conference date in the title in addition to the
<author><year><chapter title> date)
Author: some papers can have 6 or more authors.
I hope you can increase the size of these fields in future software
releases.

Hi Frank
Very few developers follow these mailing list, so the way to get their
attention is to post a "bug" as a request for enhancement.
To do this you will have to register at www.openoffice.org, reply to the
confirmation email sent out, then login on the website - perhaps best at
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi
Do a "query" first (actually I don't think you need to be logged in to
do that) to see if an rfe exists. Look at Issue type "Enhancement" and
component "bibliographic"
Once convinced there is nothing there, then put in the details you can
in a new issue. Usually any fields you can't understand can be left
blank or at default and will be sorted out by the administrators of the
qa list.
