------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 17 09:02:22 -0800 2006 ------- I am hoping a capable person can add a patch to enhance writer and make it more compatible with the legal profession. There are a number of law professionals that still use word perfect and MS Office because OpenOffice can't produce the required line numbering scheme. I think the fix should be simple. I should note, there are a few macros and templates that people have made to patch the solution together. They are inconvenient and it would be better to enhance the line numbering code and remove any reasons an attorney has for not using openoffice. In a legal pleading the attorney must submit a document that has strict formatting requirements as far as the line numbers go. The text itself is single spaced at the top of the first page and double spaced below. The line numbers need to be double spaced throughout. Each page is typically numbered 1-23. The problem, as I recall, is that open office counts the actual lines of text so the numbering in the single spaced section doesn't fit the courts requirements. I can get more information and sample documents if anyone is interested and the above isn't clear. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
