Thank you for bottom-posting :) Hm, that sounds like a nice feature; it's similar to what I'm doing, just without the fields. It's a little more complicated, though, since some of the data I'm entering is repeated at two places (and I enter it twice manually). There would have to be fields that are pointers to other fields already filled in --- perhaps Lotus Wordpro has something like that as well. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
