Bug ID: 157711
Summary: Enhancement to Unify Office Products from a File View
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
“Enjoin” the major office products (Calc, Writer, Impress, ect…) within the
“workbook” file format, with each tab/sheet in the file individually linked to
the specific software type - like the bottom left of a Calc screen.
Quite frequently, in the office world, there is need to have a Word Document, a
Spreadsheet/Workbook file, a presentation, and possibly a Visio type file, all
required within a single project.
There are all the links that users try to keep straight and often cannot, and
updating from one file to the next - a lot of waisted time for the end user -
maybe things are better now, but I think probably not.
If users could open a single "Office File” (that could just be some kind of
skin) that had as an example, one tab as a spreadsheet, one tab as a Doc, one a
Presentation, the end user would be able to stay in the same file (skin) that
has those tabs at the bottom of the working screen - likely linking to itself,
all over the place.
So the user only has one consolidated file to work with on a specific project,
and could use within that file any part of the office system - It might just be
a skin as I mentioned and behind the scenes each of the actual
calc/doc/presentation… files exist, but it would be way cool if all the
separate file types were written into a single consolidated “Office.sdpv" file.
That’s the idea. I was an end user, and Excel power user for thirty years, and
thought MS Office would do something with that idea a long time ago… By the end
of my office work, I had a number of projects that included
XL/Word/PowerPoint/Visio files - most of them linked. One interface -
incredible.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.the idea is when you create a new office file, you can select what types of
working screens and protocols will be on each "page/tab" within the file
2.If that could be done, then the links between
functions/spreadsheet/writer/presentation would all be within one workbook file
3.
Actual Results:
Files have to be linked and can get lost
Expected Results:
A complete renewal of the office experience for multi product users
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This really would be a cool new way to use office products.
