My vent. Venting at me will not help. While I might agree, I think that
you enter an Request for Enhancement (RFE) into Issue
Tracker as this is the best way to have requests such as this evaluated.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
Register link at the top right of www.openoffice.org,
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
