Sent this "bug" report on 9/13 BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. Thus I had to revert back to
MS Office <sigh!>. Great idea without support!
Hello Thomas,
I'm sure you feel that you have reported your issue and got no support.
However, the developers don't read this list regularly looking for
problems because there is a database of issues. These issues are
reported here:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
This explains the process.
It is a requirement of most all open source projects.
They are too complex to look for bug reports in dozens of mailing lists.
This list is basically to discuss possible bugs and seek confirmation
before reporting;
to avoid duplications.
We appreciate your taking the time to write about your particular problem,
but this is the first step. Please take a look at the Issue page and
take the time to explain your particular problem.
Again, software projects are complex. Your issue will be noted and the
process will begin. It is a good idea to post your issue number in this
list and request that others vote for it, if it affects them or if they
feel that it is important that it be fixed.
Best regards,
Richard.

Subject: Re: sWriter & sBase: bugs!!! (yuk!!!)
To Whom it May Concern:
Being an "expert" user who can crash a CPU by looking at it, some of the
following is actually repetitious BUT unfortunately I mistakenly erased the prior
message. Thus kindly bear with me.
Overall I find Open Office close to yet no cigar yet to Microsoft (and I
have such high hopes with OO.)
A) Writer v. Word: while the general layout of letter writing is compatible, scanning and
email is not. If I leave the Doc as OO the other end user can either not open it or it
opens extremely slowly. Too slow to sit and wait for. Further with Word pages can be
moved around and inserted easily. Not so in Writer which apparently does not allow page
insertion to a particular area. As an example I scanned in a number of pages but, for
whatever reason, page one came out as page two and when I tried to correct it it simply
would not move the page. Also in using the "text" box of the draw toolbar, the
box would only work if I used it on the first page of the document it WOULD NOT inset on
the desired page.
B) dBase I find easier to use yet I have some issues here as well. To wit, I drew up a rather decent sized table ot be utilized in a Form. Upon using the Forms Wizard it automatically inserted an "ID" field that I didn't want (I figured out how to leave it out eventually) and when it came to inserting missing fields I found that to be a no go. I trust that eveytime I build a table, particulary a large table, I don't have to start from scratch if I need to add a field.
More to follw!
