Thanks a lot for your feedback. As you know the product is driven by the community and most of the time implementation is done upon interest by members. And as Italo said, it is inherited from OOo because we miss people like you to prevent such issues. I guess the best way to solve it is to implement the two other tribes that are not represented. Would you like to help us in doing so? If yes, drop me a private mail and I'll follow-up with you.
