The first question is how do I report a minor mistake/problem in the program to
OpenOffice.org?

Specifically the sort function in Writer does not correctly sort alphanumerics, the correct way to
sort alpha numeric lists in English is to ignore both indefinite and definite articles
("A" and "THE").
In general, I disagree with this statement. There are specific instances
when this is desired (Library of Congress listings, for example), but in
General, sort should not automatically choose to drop certain words and
letters during a sort.
I also believe that it does not consider "a 01" equal to "a
000000000000000001", but I have written numerous sort functions that do
consider these equal.
My second question also relates to Open Office 2.3 running on Windows XP and relates back to Open Office
2.1 running on both Windows XP and Fedora Core 5, Open Office 2.1 had a maximum document size of
47.6" x 47.6", Open Office 2.3 Writer allows me to also create documents that big with no
problem, however Open Office 2.3 Writer seems to indicate the ability to create documents up to a size
of 300" x 300", but when one tries to make documents greater then 47.6" in width (only),
it reduces the active/usable horizontal space to between 1 inch and 25 inches. Does anyone know how
make full use of the 300 inch width? It would certainly improve my online family trees.Jason Wexler
Interesting observation/question.
