------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 11 21:22:39 +0000 2007 ------- LET US MAKE "NORMAL VIEW" OOo's #1 PROBLEM AND TOP PRIORITY The other day, I installed OOo on my new computer because I needed OOo Impress (which is free). I dutifully checked out a Draft View option or Hide Margins option in OOo Writer but it still wasn't there, of course. After five years, it doesn't have priority for OOo's development team. It does for me, however. I read the Wiki and now I know there won't be a solution for a very long time unless we -- discontent former OOo Writer users -- take action. The OOo team is implementing "preconditions" for different views/layouts. That is a nice excuse for not implementing the simple feature we need. If it is possible to Show/Hide text borders (in the View menu), it should also be possible to Show/Hide _margins_ (alas, not in the View menu). That is not a matter of a different layout, it is matter of simply hiding the margins on the screen. It may not be typical Draft View but everybody would be perfectly happy. It is not on the OOo team's agenda. So let us make their top priority. Waiting five years is enough. We have had it. Let us all visit the download and review sites. Let us rate OOo as low as possible. Add comment where possible, stating that OOo Writer lacks Normal View as well as Hide Margins which makes the program utterly useless for almost any purpose. Mobilize your friends and collegues. Ask them to do the same. Share the review sites you found with others, so they can rate OOo at that site, too. Don't forget to mail Ubuntu and Dell. They are trying to promote Unix for desktops which will be in vain if users are forced to use the OOo Writer crippleware. Let us all join to make Hide Margins OOo's #1 problem. And maybe, just maybe, they will schedule the fixing of this scam for December. Maybe even this year. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
