So OASIS has to catch up :) OASIS establishes the standards, no? If such is the case: What you've written, above, is what we call "putting the cart before the horse." And that's putting the best possible light on it. To be clear: I have no problem with LO implementing non-standard behaviour, but that behaviour *must* be optional, with the switches that enable it clearly noted as such. > > Hope this makes it clear ;) Disappointingly so, if I understood correctly what you wrote, and if what you wrote is accurate. But perhaps I've misunderstood? In which case: Disregard my criticisms. Regards, Jim -- Note: My mail server employs *very* aggressive anti-spam filtering.
