OO.o is a general office productivity suite, not a do-all for programmers and others. It is also the first time i have heard this request made in my 5 years here. In other words new features have to be balanced against the roadmap, general desirability of features, and the risk of general bloat blow-out (many say the program is too bloated now). I don't want to discourage you completely so heres the correct place for making Requests For Enhancements (RFE's). Note that it is somewhat torturous to prevent frivolous and duplicate requests, and is the same process as that used for bugs. http://qa.openoffice.org/ There is a voting process for feature requests, so if you place your RFE come back here and advise it so others may vote. -- 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]
