Hello Thorsten, I understand this historical issue, but are there any
plans to move towards more shared code at all?
Other functionalities that could benefit are:
- rotating pictures in Writer (open issue)
- split screen in Writer like in Calc (open issue)
- Gradients management availability in all the components
- outline view like in Impress for Writer (open issue)
- common syntax between Calc formulas and Writer table formulas
- Calc formulas available in Writer (and Impress?)
- table styles like in Impress in Writer
- revision marks in Impress (open issue)
- character style in Impress (open issue)
- Macro recorder in Impress
- Crop images in Impress (extensions exist for that)
Good list.
Also use of master documents with non-Writer subdocuments.
And frames in Draw (sorry, earlier email continued my perpetual
confusion of frames and text boxes :-( ) where they would seem to be
/far/ more useful than frames in Writer.
At this rate I'll be thinking of buying Office :-) No, not serious,
but out of curiosity, does MSO have the same sort of consistency
issue? I ask as one who's never used it other than a very quick look.
Actually, MS Office is much worse than OOo in this respect, MS O is a
set of totally seperate programs with little or no shared code. It
would probably much easier to totally integrate OOo than to do it with
MS O for that reason. I suspect that sooner or later someone will build
a totally integrated office suite/single program because of the power
and versatility such a product would offer. I also suspect that within
2 years of such a product being introduced, all other office products
would go the way of Wordstar.
