Dear Openoffice.org developers,
One particular feature I would really like to see implemented in future
versions of OpenOffice_Writer is the possibility of writing documents with one
font typeface in web layout mode (or similar) but be able to save the document
or export it (ex. in .pdf format) with another (customizable) font type(s),
etc... according to a pre-established template for example. I know this seems
somewhat unorthodox, but if you consider people with visual disabilities this
is strongly preferable and important. I don't know up to which extent this
aspect is part of your own policies as software developers, but I can assure
you that for visual impaired persons this feature has a very strong impact!
Also, coupled with this feature, the possibility of upon writing the document
to have a blue screen background (or another high contrast color) with written
white text to increase the contrast, even with low sized-fonts. The main idea
is to be able to write a document with a ‘blueprint’ type background with white
text but be able at the same time to save the document or export it with
customizable settings. Also, this feature should be file related, meaning that
each setting should be independent from file-to-file. This way, I can write a
document and save it in a blue screen mode according to my own settings to be
able to continue writing it later on, and another person be able to use the
same word processor without the need to change the “my” settings to his/her own
preferences. The preferences and settings should be independent and file
related. The idea is to write documents according to the description made
(independent of formatting for instance) and the output made customizable
according to the preferences (type of font, size of font, layout of the
document, etc.). Hope I was clear. Thank you very much for the attention.
/Mauro Claudino.
