Unfortunately people always compare with Excel, and if OpenOffice.org Calc can't do something that Excel can, they are often unlikely to switch to OpenOffice.org. I am not sure if the focus should be on satisfying earlier Excel users or trying to develop unique (and good) stuff for OpenOffice.org, that Excel lacks, but what can be added that isn't there in OpenOffice.org Calc or MS Excel already? In this case, as someone High Up has decided that pictures are a good idea, IMO the facility should behave rationally and predictably. It doesn't, which is fair ground for complaint. And since I did (when writing a bug report), those who agree with me could vote for it and hopefully something nice could happen… :) -- Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
