Hi,
Love Open Office. Let me say that right up, but there are a couple of quirks
which I find very annoying.
1. Inserting text off internet. - If you have already formatted your
document (font, etc), and paste something from the internet, it seems to loose
your previous formatting, and the webpages, and refer to 'Times New Roman'
font, and different sized text.
What I would like to see is the same as above, except when you paste it, it
takes on the characteristics of the formatting to the document you have just
made.
Have you tried ”Paste special…”?
2. Pasting from other documents - Past a word or sentence, and the same thing
happens as above. I am using Calc, and when an item is pasted, the 'centred'
call alignment I had before disappears. So my new text takes on a form of its
own, leaving me to repeat what I just did before. This is extremely annoying.
There is probably a simple way to fix this, but unlike MS Word, the setup is so
different I could spend an hour trying to fix this problem (or looking up how
to fix it rather), and thought it would be quicker just to send an email!
Have you tried ”Paste special…”?
3. Setting a standard font - Very difficult and had to Google it. Perhaps it
would be easier to make it possible to set a new font up under 'fonts', to
avoid the lengthy process (similar to old MS Word setup)
Make a template with your standard font. Make that template your
default template.
If you could please reply, to inform me you have received this.
We are just OpenOffice.org users like you and few people on this list
can actually do anything about anything, except filing bug reports and
things like that, just like you could do.
Regards
Johnny Rosenberg, one of many OpenOffice.org users
Thank you and Kind Regards
Michael
