For OOo 2.x, there is a macro that provides tab features. For word, it almost works. It doesn't work for Calc. >that is very powerful is the Reveal Code For OOo 1.x and 2.x there is a macro for word, and a different macro for calc, that provides similar information to that provided by WP's reveal codes. > It's basically a way to let users see the "code" underlying the document. That feature had to be included in WP, because of bugs related to how WP implemented styles. Not only is OOo not a stream editor, but it also uses a different methodology for implementing styles. >This way, a user can quickly find out why the document is not displaying as he >wants. a) The only reason a document does not display what the person expected, is becuae the person was not using styles properly. b) If you configure the formatting toolbar correctly, and know what the attributes of the styles that you use are, you can obtain the same data as that provided by WPs reveal codes. > It also allows the user to see where certain codes are, such as the page > break, the margin, etc. The best improvement to OOo would be to remove the ability to display the formatting toolbar. Removing all toolbars, requiring keyboard commands would improve both the functionality, and ease of using OOo by several orders of magnitude. (It would also mean that it was a11y --- which is something that both MSO and OOo currently fail.) jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
