--- Comment #264 from ther <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Grisemine from comment #260) > @ther, you are still doing nothing good here. > https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959#c238 As the second decade since this "bug" approaches, why as the m$ clone fans unable to organise, pay programmers to make this "bug" top priority and make the function a reality. The fact is, for gratis, the majority of programmers see no value in the time required to produce this function. Suggestion? Substitute your m$ licence fee to pay for the development. To clarify, not a programmer, therefore no conflict of interest in the suggestion. > May you please answer me : "why do you keep talking here about something you > do not want and clearly do not understand ?" > > Now it is "copy your text to a code editor (losing all your formattings ?) > and then fold/unfold as you like, and then back to Writer (put back all > formatting ?) > It is just PLAIN STUPID, it seems you never used a word processor in real > life, for anything longer than a letter ! > Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.
