------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 21 10:36:21 -0700 2006 ------- Hey! This programme is never going to be the best in the world -- that you & we want for it:- a., unless you stop removing facilities that we have come to rely on and Word-users will naturally expect as miminum b., unless you make it still more assistive, with fewer steps for each of some more actions, viz., page numbers (inserting and omitting-on-first-page). It would be a shame, if not done; that is already there even, e.g., in Sibelius. c., unless you resist the thing of making it look too much like a clone of Word, and restore those missing in S.O. 8 vis-a-vis 7, too or d., until you get the linguo better than MS's -- the English usage correct! e., unless you include a proper window-splitting facility (2 panes onto same file). f., unless you provide word-count of selection g., unless you enable us to key-select Styles in the lists also outside text-Object Bar! h., unless you enable the altering of pre-set form of dates. It seems fixedly as 28/09/06 -- as it goes in with quick key or from Menu. i., unless, for modif. selected graphics, you either restore StarImage to us (, of course screamingly desirable) or give us at least a convenient hook, a direct command, to other programme, pre-set by us. j., unless you incorporate automatic language recognition that WordPro has had for a long time. k., if ALT-key is not available for assigning by the user. l., until the problem is solved to easily restore, by search & replace, - directly re-specified (hard-formatted) characters to 'Default' -- unspecified re. fount & size. - character Styles to not specifying fount or size ! (Leaving box, Replace with, blank and with No format removes the found text, which is not acceptable.) m., unless case-switch includes limiting it to initial letters (reminding of the SHIFT+F3 of Word, but not cyclic as that is). n., if we can't have character Styles, too, equally replaced straight from the search panel. o., if Bézier curve continues to be so out of control -- springing way off camera as it still does. Don't dare become wordian re. sections either ! and also _Details on above points_ a., b. (further) I actually think you have wasted, in re-designing, time that should have been spent in adding aspects & facilites obviously needed yet, in that vein (assistiveness)... The button-bitmaps of 7 are already quite good enough, when, as I say, there are other, more useful-pressing things to improve & add in the programme... For one thing, a one-step way for page numbers into Footer: should be in since long, long ago; that would not be a Wordian thing but simple, obvious common sense. We need you to show name of Section even when cursor in table. This is anomalous as it is! Also, the More-ness of the new Search panel should stay, from search to search, session to session. It's obvious. This is very frrustrating!! That way, you see, we who like the S.O. 7-ian design would still be able to enjoy the immediate usefulness -- anot her common-sense need, anyway. However, for making Hyperlink, don't start force us to select Bookmark from their list as does MS-Word, but make that available alongside pasting it from the Panel Insert Bookmark [facility already requested in vain, long ago]! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
