Improving default Heading styles ergonomy
Hi to all LaTeX users often tell us that they have nearly ready to use styles. corresponding to average use. In fact it's true. Running soffice daily since the first free Sun Staroffice5.1 in 2000, and teaching it to French users and pupils from that year, i regret to admit that it's not the case for us, because of two reasons : 1. Our default heading styles never correspond to the most frequent needs. (Heading 2 and 3 have the same size, 4 and 5 too, 6 to 10 too ...) 2. We are wobbly halfway between two logics : the full inheritance and the full independence. I explain : Some of our styles are proportional (Heading 1=115% and 4=85% to 10=75%) inheritance concerns here both font and size in % and others are fixed (Heading which is father, and Heading 1 and 2) inheritance concerns font but not size you see the problem...you must deal with a Heading 3 which is 85% sized of Heading which is fixed 14 ... therefore without referring to Default size. Size inheritance choices are not clear, and who of us has ever needed font size proportionality in his daily works ? (How many times have we been obliged to click on [Standard] when we wanted to customize Heading 1 ?) In conclusion I think we should have a real constructive adversarial to decide how to be closer to end-users needs. I propose something simple to code, for example to let font inheritance everywhere, this is a very useful feature when we wish to try different fonts in order to see how it looks. But assuming that 90% of users use a 12pt default text style, shouldn't we consider fixing font sizes Default = 12 ; Heading 1 = 16 ; Heading 2 = 14 ; Heading 3 = 13 ; Heading 4 = 12 ; Heading 5 = 11 ; ...or whatever you want bold or not Italic or not after discussion. It would not be a difficult work, but the effect on end-users would be great and being able to use more often our default styles would save time to many people This is one dimension of quality.

I wonder if this could make a good blog post. Of course, AOO being free is core part of the story. But even better would be if we had a top 10 list of ways in which AOO is great for school. 1. Use the same software at home and at school without worrying about licensing 2. Participate in the AOO community and provide useful things for others while you learn 3. Fix broken Word documents 4. Provide choice and promote transferrable skills by using more than one type of tool 5. Get a qualification referenced to the European Qualifications Framework 6. Fits nicely in a small/low income community's school budget. 7. Work in multiple languages. 8. use it on your llinux/win/mac machine 9. having all you need for the school in one suit/program (cause other projects which has to make money trying to split up the programs like one program for writing onother for drawing to make more money) 10. possible to open other formats like .doc (maybe note that it does not work perfect because it's a propritary/closed format) but works mostly maybe also note some features that are new to 4.0, like the optional side bar which makes the work easier and faster. If you also want to mention that there are still some things missing, here are my most wanted/missing featured I still remember from shool: (of course there are more things like Inserting a bibliographic reference int a frame (e.g. image frame) (-will show up allways as [0])) #create a 3d surface chart (surface plots) #save the annotations in impress (don*t know if these are still missing) 11. Use it from USB-stick and so work everywhere using your personal settings, even if AOO is not yet installed on your friends PC. German: digitale Schultasche Kind regards Regina 12 analyse existing school programs in different levels and see if it's possible to produce some resources that would be directly usable by students or pupils according to their programs. for example here are some little resources produced by EducOOo for our 14 - 19 y o pupils galleries and extensions http://campuslibre.educoo.org/main/document/document.php?cidReq=OUTILSAUTOUROOO AOODraw has enough features to allow simple electronic schematic design either using connectors or grid (the choice in these galleries, some of them taken from dsciences) millimetered, semi-log and log-log generator http://campuslibre.educoo.org/courses/BACPROM/document/24_Logarithmes_et_exponentielles/milifred4.otg an english version exists but as there is few text it would be easy to translate it in any language. This module is used by dmaths Oscilloscope simulator without macros http://campuslibre.educoo.org/courses/BACPROSCIENCESPHYSIQ/document/1_CME2_Alimentations_Installations_Protection/OOoscillo2.ods rem : after 25y of teaching , it appears to me that that pupils are mainly looking for short howtos (one page, no more) about specific issues related to their program of study (ex : how to deal with complex numbers in calc, how to write a simple formula, how to structure a homeworrk with AOO, where can i find an AOO template for my report of internship etc...)
