I have a feature suggestion for your team!

In the business world we use many spreadsheets.  Each spreadsheet has a
particular purpose.  For some the flow is left to right.  For others it is
top to bottom.  I event have some that are right to left.  The global
setting of which direction the cursor moves should be a spreadsheet setting
(and I thought it was at one time).  It is very inconvenient to have to go
into the global calc settings and change the cursor movement direction for
every spreadsheet.  And invariably, the next one I use will be the other
direction from the last one I used.  A fix for this situation would be
very convenient in the business world.

 we are always happy to see volunteers. I spent part of my time mentoring

 Bugzilla should be up to date with regard of status, so if you have found a
 bug report that is already fixed, then please mark it as such.

 You will see that BZ contains a number of bugs that are:
 - not really bugs, but user errors, these need to be commented and closed
 - bugs that are unconfirmed, these need to be confirmed and commented or
 closed
 - and of course real bugs, which are confirmed and wait to be solved.

 It is super that you have already build AOO, on which platform?

 We also have a label in BZ for easy bugs which you might want to look at.

 Feel free to ask on this list.
