Dan,
I believe this information is of particular use to authors. This is
taken from the bug page:
"As an
author you must comply certain rules (number of character per line,
number of
lines per page etc.). In MS-Word you have all that info in the
statusbar. We
need this! Thanks!
Current line/Lines on page
current char/chars of current line
current word/words of current line
words on page"

MISSING IMPORTANT CURSOR POSITION FEATURE IN OpenOffice 2.1 WRITER
(Win XP and presumably Linux Ubuntu also).
1. Open the two attached screen shot .jpg files in Windows XP
preferably side by side in 'tile' view if possible.
2. Compare the bottom 'bar' of
Example1CursorPositionOpenOfficeWriter2.1
with
Example2CursorPositionWord97
3. Note that Example1 (OO) does NOT have full cursor position.
4. Note that Microsoft Word 97 and all later versions of WORD
does have full cursor position. The example looks like the
following;
Page 4 Set 1 4/148 At 4.7cm Ln 6 Col 2
5. The latter vital feature is missing in OO 2.1 Writer or
have I missed some tool or configuration?
6. The above is obviously OO 2.1 for Windows XP but I'm migrating
to Ubuntu Linux 6.10 soon with OO 2.1 Linux (Both 32 bit versions.)
7. As a writer of novels the exact cursor position is VITAL when
I come to paginate manuscripts for home printing on A4 paper.
8. If this feature is not in OO 2.1 (Win XP and Linux 32 bit)
COULD IT PLEASE BE INCORPORATED IN NEXT VERSIONS PLEASE?

Pardon me, but I do not understand what purpose is served by
knowing where the cursor is. Would you please explain how you use
this knowledge as you write? Then we will know why this is so
important to you. Perhaps we could then suggest something that OOo
already has which will serve a similar purpose.
For example, when I close an OOo file, it opens to the place
where I was last working on it: the place where the last changes were
made. I do not have to know where I stopped: it opens there
automatically.
