--- Comment #93 from yahka...@gmail.com --- Please bear with me as I put my thoughts down as they come. The work I am doing now needs me to acquire and open to image views of an object imported into two LO writer documents or into two pages of one LO writer document. Then I analyze both images in real time using basic programming. I would have to do mouse clicks on the images as part to the processing. Tabs would be just perfect for the work. So, this thread got me reviewing the history of Lotus symphony one of the comments mentioned. Then, I realized my Google Docs example above was apparently predated by IBM with their IBM Connections Docs. I guess IBM saw the better future of online document processing and dumped Lotus Symphony on Apache Software Foundation. (Will they also release the source code of IBM Connections Docs to ASF?) And, truly, to be able to work on one's documents on the go and on any device with some browser, as with Google, beats installing office suite limited to particular devices. One can even work offline on one's documents, and get back online when one wants. I believe this new system really tolls the knell over standalone device office applications. OO/LO now has much catching up to do. But it could do it with a proactive difference. Also build in macro programming in the online documents. And it is back in business. Now, if tabbed document windows could appear impossible to OO/LO, then what hope is there to catch up with what is in effect online tabbed document windows!? Yet, OO/LO must achieve this or be left behind. And added to this, I am asking the group to set the target to launch online tabbed document windows with a macro programming feature as for today's standalone desktop office applications. Can there not be some fruitful synergy in this direction teaming up with Mozilla? OO/LO needs their browser while they need the office suite. Both need each other to survive! I think so, but stand to be corrected or enlightened. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are on the CC list for the issue.
