------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 10 19:10:44 +0000 2008 ------- I suggest a new xml file type in the Open Document File Format family, which allows us to save a part of a document(presently saved as *.odt). I mean that it won't contain page settings and any other default setting(i.e. any setting of font, margins etc. which weren't been configured by the user). My idea is that we could save a useful sentense, a box with an explanation of a topic, a complete table of a statistic etc. into separate files. Then we could paste them directly into a new document. An example: 1. While I'm writng a report with OpenOffice.org Writer about opensource applications, I make a diagram about how many people in the world use OpenOffice.org, I add a table with exact number of users by occupation and put them in a box with the title "How many people use OpenOffice.org?". I save it as "Open Document Partial Text"(I call it like that for the present). The file doesn't consume much memory, because it contains only settings which I configured specially for this part. 2. Some days later, I write a report about how people in the world save money by using free stuffs. At the section "software", I simply click menu->Paste->File... and paste the "Partial document" I made for the last report about opensource applications. I don't need to change anything, because the default settings are applied automatically. So, the benefits would be: * small file size and speedy operations * no manual formal customizations needed --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
