[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #22 from [email protected] --- Hello new to this - but realised that am not alone as new user to Open stuff my experience in various offices is that splitting the screen for word processing is very very very common original doc in one and current editing doc. in other part - but both on same screen with ability to scroll up and down - as this thread seems to have been open more or less since 2004 thats a good 8 years i am surprised that no fantastically capable or even averagely capable programmer has managed to solve it! obviously for the moment i open two documents resize them (which on lap tops touch pads take time) align them get rid of tool bars on original doc. and then try and get on with scrolling up and down clicking etc having to get rid of toolbars is annoying as sometimes As a Translator (i notice one of original users posting also was/is translator) i obviously use thesaurus one both docs. My shortcut - apple or squiggle+F7 as indicated on pulldown menu does not work and has never worked so i have to go to toolbar menu and do it the 'long way round' obviously having come from a time of Real Copy And Paste (then copy and tipped and copy again) i love computers and what they are capable of doing Now that Apple has dumped any access to MS word (older versions) something i didn't know they were going to do - i am gallantly going with Opensource (which i had planned to do anyway) am surprised as next person that two diff. docs can't be views on a 'split screen' thanks for advice (In reply to comment #20) > Adjacent viewing and editing (at least) two documents is very useful and > sometimes even important since it greatly simplifies such kind of work. > Imagine, > how many mouse movements and clicks it needs to make, editing some long > document > and visually comparing it with another one (clicking, moving mouse, > scrolling, > etc.) without two synchronized and ajacent views, but having only different > and > independent of each other windows. > > Many thanks to OpenOffice developers for their great work. > Look forward for this feature to be implemented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
