------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 2 03:50:15 -0800 2005 ------- Unless your monitor is set at a resolution of 1280x1024, the floating panels, and in particular the style picker panel, will get in the way of what your writing. The only way to avoid this is to manually resize the OOo window to 850 pixels width, and place the style picker in the free space. Now that OpenOffice 2.0 has an API for docks (as seen in Presenter and Database) you should look at using these to replace the floating panels. This will obviate the need to resize windows as described above. It's also been the standard in Microsoft Office since XP, and I find it is a lot easier to use. This actually applies to all panels in all applications, but the style panel is the main one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
