I strongly object to the names of the cell reference styles ("Absolute",
"Relative (R1C1)", "A1", "Lotus") because they do not make the differences among
styles clear. It is meaningless to describe styles as "absolute" or "relative"
(and hence the third sentence of the first paragraph of section 1 is wrong)
because an absolute or relative reference can be written in any of the styles
(e.g., $A$1, A1, R1C1, RC). "A1" and "R1C1" are good; the names additionally
need to distinguish among the OOo, Excel, and Lotus variants of A1. How about
"OOo A1", "Excel A1", "Excel R1C1", and "Lotus A1", along the lines of pmike's
suggestion? Or the menu could give an example in each of the styles (like the
comments in "enum Convention" in source file "sc/inc/address.hxx"), followed by
"(OOo)", "(Excel)", or "(Lotus)" as appropriate; the full-generality examples
may be helpful to some users but overwhelm others.
Also, I suggest moving the choices into a submenu "Format -> Sheet -> Cell
Reference Style" so that it is clear to users what they are choosing.
