------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 31 12:44:07 -0800 2006 ------- Microsoft plans to integrate ribbons (i.e. adaptive toolbars) into its next package; MS Office 12 (currently in beta 1 testing phase). One of the developers, Jensen Harris, maintains a blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/category/10923.aspx) that discusses this "new" development. There is also a nice "short" 70-slide presentation outlining this at http://www.baychi.org/podcast/20051213/baychi-20051213-20.pdf (I will copy this data into an .odt document and upload it). Ribbons are "adaptive toolbars" ie. depending on where you click the toolbars change and the result is a different toolbar of icons that shows what possible options you can now follow e.g. if you click in a cell then the toolbars change and the toolbar displayed now has macros and icons for inserting a row, column, deleting a row, column, inserting a cell, deleting a cell, etc. I know this functionality was built into the Object toolbar but my real concern is that the new Microsoft method is definitely impressive. Would it be possible to integrate this functionality as an option for a future release of OOo after MS Office 12 is released, or even to provide something that goes beyond? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
