Hello!
I'm from Denmark, so my English might not be so good.
I'm 14 years old, and are going to work on a project for school. I think the
design in Open Office Impress, is REALLY confusing! You have to click twice to
drag something and move around. In the beginning, I didn't know how to put a
text box in my project. Now that I have struggling with a diagram for 1 hour,
it is still not as I wanted. I wanted to have it percentages, but couldn't find
it, and had to improvise. The small icons for the different stuff, is small and
it is not clear enough to show what it is. Example. I have NO IDEA what this
was, before I hold my mouse over it and read.

I am not much of, to compare Open Office with Microsoft Office, but the icons
in MO is really big, and it have a text under. It is also more modern, and
probably is mostly used in the younger students. In OO, you have to click
around to make it as you wanted. Even really simple things, you have to click
around. I would like to see a icon, with a text box and a 'insert picture'
shown at the top or in the bottom, instead of it is hiding behind my project,
so I have to look for it. The normally and useful tools don't appear very
clear. It is hidden like hide and seek, and instead of using time on your
project, you are wasting time to find what you need ex. making a text box.
I am not only hear to complain about the layout in Open Office Impress, but I
will thank you, for a free writing program, that is good enough t make it
happen. But! There is still many things that could be better. Open Office is
quite boring, and I think in many opions it would be nice, if it kinda
'explode' up in my face. When I open OO, is plain boring. All grey, small icons
etc.
I mean, we are in 2012, things are getting more modern and futuristic.
Sometimes it would be good with a little bit different.
In the nearest future, I hope to see a more modern writing program, that is
easy to use. Is kinda in 'the dark side' right now. Try turning in to 'the
bright side'.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you take me seriously and actually maybe
will spend time to reply? Or at least try to look at it, and think about what I
just wrote
