------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 12 01:09:02 -0700 2006 ------- This issue is all about balance: how far do we adapt to make new users feel at home, and how much do we ask new users to learn and how do we help with that. It is reasonable that people who are new to OpenOffice.org expect some learning. So when we offer good help, especially on the points where things are different for relative basic users. Then use that attention, to tell them more about the powers of OOo :-) In this special case, one can say that with File|Page setup in OOo, Wordusers can at least change from portrait to landscape and set margins. But when it comes to different settings for different pages, they dó need Help. IMO, the idea #4 mentioned by Bernard Dippold is very good (even more important than whether File|Page setup is brought in or not): when OOo is first launched, start a page with some headlines: differences, but also important tools to use in OOo. Just a few paragraphs to point the way and link to further info in the Help. And explain that the page can be opened again by a (new, third) entry in the Help Menu. Info for former Word/WP users, could have a more prominent place. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
