Along with development (not on OOo but other projects and at my office job) I also have to write produce extensive documentation concerning what I create, and I use OOo VERY heavily. Your reduced system would do me next to no good as it is missing MANY of the things I used every day, and to extend the ones I need below what you have there might take up half of my screen. So if you are talking about a complete replacement for the current menu system, for me that would not be a worthwhile endeavor. However, I realize that I may use features regularly that other people may use less often than I do (multiple windows, page preview, super- and sub-script, tables operations and vertical alignments, drawing menus, paragraph and bullet/numbering menu, tables of contents,frames, footnotes/endnotes, the gallery, properties, variables, and a host of others. So if this is a proposal for an ALTERNATE 'ribbon' at the top (like M/S which I cannot use because it crashes too often to be reliable on some of the more complex docs I have to work with) then I withdraw any objection. However if it's "get rid of what's there now and do it this way instead" I must respectfully disagree. -- william w. austin [email protected] "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
