--- Comment #15 from Cor Nouws <[email protected]> --- Hi Jay, (In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #14) > We have many common shortcut that require two hands to hit that are even > more basic than stylist or navigator, e.g. Ctrl + P (Print), Ctrl + O > (Open), Ctrl + N (New). On Mac, users have to use two hands to hit any of > the Function keys, as they have to press the Fn key as well. It might be because I use Ctrl+P and Ctr+O quite seldom, or because Ctrl+Shift asks for a little twist and/combined with the move from my right hand to the left side of the key board, that for me this has a different weight. I can't imagine that it is because we get old and grumpy... isn't it, Eike ? > > Additionally, both features are something that other office suites don't > > offer and that help to organize the document and its formatting, > > MS Office has both a stylist > (http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/images/stylesFPane2010.gif) and > navigator (http://www.dkszone.net/editing-in-ms-word-2010-simplified-with), I never liked that styles window, but maybe it is better now. After all. MsOffice improves too, as they do with a simple version of the Navigator. > though not as powerful/extensive as the one found in LO.
