------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 10 12:11:30 -0800 2005 ------- The main reason I would like to see tabbed documents in OOo is this: tab documents would allow me to handle the information (opening, processing an storage) in an integrated and tidy structure, i.e. as thematic dossiers and not only as isolated documents. This is a new functionality whose usefulness goes farther than simple "nice" experiences (Ã la M$), and even than the usefulnees we can have when browsing on internet. If we think a little bit, we will see that it is precisely this way -integrated handling of information through dossiers- that people try to do their work in every office, school, etc. A couple of examples: a dossier (a group of related information in the form of several files) about a prospective client; a dossier about a candidate for a vacancy; a dossier about an investment project; a dossier about a research or rapport at the school or university; a dossier with all the letters I have written to somebody; a dossier about... you name it. Now, which program do you think, can incorporate -I would even say it requires- this functionality in a natural way? M$, where you have all kind of "niceties" but without order (a very pleasant mess)? Or Open Office, which at its very base (and not like inM$ as only one more nicety) has the structure of templates, styles and navigator and the integration between its different modules from within each module? I think tabbed documents would be "only" a natural extension in OOo, but a very useful one especially in terms of work productivity (of course, it would be, besides, pleasant). If M$ would offer sth. comparable, it will have to change its approach (at least in relation to text treatment), and not only stuff a computer with useless niceties (after a whole year working with OOo I go sometimes back to look at Word. It feels like an elephant full bells and beads). I left M$ because of this kind of functionalities offered by OOo, because they allowed me to increase my productivity and efficiency, not because it was "nicer" (well, it was nicer for the quality of my work).
