Good morning
I am using OO32, the machine(s) I am currently working with run
Win XP.
Whenever I scroll down the screen (or just typing something in
existing
text does the same) and I come to the bottom of the screen, the
cursor
"jumps" between 7-9 lines (I counted them) down. This happens both in
page and web view
Good evening
I am really sorry, but apparently I did not do my homework on this question.
After receiving all the helpful advice here I also did a Google search.
And I found:
In the past many other people have asked the *EXACT* same question I
asked for many years already.
The conclusion:
OO is **NOT** capable/willing of changing that behavior, nor offering
any other options.
I am afraid, that settles it then: I HATE MS Word and AM trying to get
away from MS products altogether, but having to deal with "jitterbugs"
and reorient myself, searching for (d***) cursor is not acceptable.
After staring for +25 years at computer screens my eyesight has
considerably suffered. So, I usually display text
magnified, so I will not have to squint to decipher each individual
word. THAT leaves me with less lines on the screen (21-inch monitor); I
counted: usually around 17-18. Let's say you have 5-6 lines in the top
have of the screen in one language and 6-7 lines in the bottom half in a
different language with a little space in between ... looking at the
bottom shoots the top text portion out of view and vice versa.
And each time the cursor "jumps" - to stay visible as it is claimed - I
have to look for it. At least I could not yet find a way to make the
cursor a bright red spot or so.
I believe I mentioned (western) musical scores before. For +500 years
they *ALWAYS* use FIVE lines and not six, or seven (OpenOffice uses
apparently EIGHT lines) or any other number. There is a VERY WELL
founded reason for that.
I would like to believe, that the people who designed OpenOffice have
their own reasons for choosing 8-line jumps and similarly believe, they
are serving mankind in doing so. (In that case they might want to
consider, why the 5-line musical scores have been so successful!) And
probably both the designers and satisfied users just love the jumping up
and down = jitterbugs.
But I cannot handle this kind of nervous behavior. I guess, that will
make OpenOffice unacceptable as the choice of wordprocessor for my daily
work.
Maybe these complaints may reach the ears of the designers (or is it
programmers?) and eventually produce a change? But considering that this
complaint has been filed many times for more than 5 years already, I
probably should not keep my hopes up too high.
Anyway, I would to thank everybody for trying to help me.
Thank you!
