Well we discussed it at the design meeting and Kendy felt it shouldnt be
included, it even crashed LO for some strange reason while he was checking how
it worked. :D

Maybe its just me, but i dont consider this an advanced feature. I dont think
WordPerfect thinks of it as an advanced feature as well. I consider View > Data
Sources as an advanced feature, because i dont use it and consider most casual
word processor users dont use it either.

Everyone's user experience is different and that is one of the reasons we
provide choices. I had a guy who pressed the insert key file a bug that the
cursor was large and overwriting characters. Users who never opened the View
menu would never mistakenly turn it on and it not having a shortcut would mean
that they wouldnt mistakenly turn it on by a key combination.

Well Cor agreed it would be useful, so lets see what valid reason he had to
that agreement. Having it in the menu isnt giving it any type of special
prominence. Putting it in the toolbar or creating a new menu category for it
would be giving it prominence.
