------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 25 14:39:50 +0000 2008 ------- Several posters, sba, wernerny, jrlogic, stevepowell99, and most recently nord73 have tried to emphasize the importance of a real outline format for OO. This really is not "just a nice feature." I CANNOT use OO at work for well over 90% of my work because OO is useless at trying to read the Word documents and will not create ".doc" files in a fashion that MS Word can understand. Now part of this is no doubt a template problem but the experimentation that I have done using MS Word's supplied "normal.dot" suggests otherwise. I suspect that at just this one site there are at least 3,000 people with occasional MS Word use and close to a thousand that use it almost all day every day. It is a huge disappointment that OO can not handle Word's outline numbering beyond the first level nor provide a true outline display mode. Technical procedures, administrative procedures, technical reports, technical manual, and a host of other documents are all created and edited in outline format with multiple levels of numbering. At this one laboratory there are thousands of EACH of these types of documents---none of which can be edited using OpenOffice! Every electric power plant in the USA all use these same document types. Probably most every major business having detailed technical requirements uses documents of this type and again they are unable to use OO for these documents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
