I'm very glad to hear that the question is still opened and "under
investigation".
Great!

Here are some ideas, perhaps not too smart, but are the first that come in my
mind:
1) wikipedia bar / google bar /quicksearch bar:
Somethig very similar to the one in konqueror, or perhaps in firefox.
Very roughly: a toolbar with a textbox (or better a combobox, for the history)
and a pushbutton that sends a query to internet (or search in the document)
and put the results directly in the document or in a dialog or in the
clipboard or whatever (depending on the search type)
(Laurent has already a nice and popular package for wikipedia search, so he
could add something here)
2) vocabulary bar
Vocabulary is an old macro (for ooo 1.1.x) with a dialog where you can put a
word and get its translation into another language.
I would like to add a "quick mode".
To enter in that mode you should have a toggle button in the toolbar
When the quick mode is active (in writer), opening the context menu you will
read possible translations for the selected word (or for the word that
contain the cursor, in case of empty selection)
3) mailmerge navigator bar
Last year I developed a "proof of concept" for this purpose (ooo1.1.x).
Not having complex controls I've used a dialog:
http://www.paolo-mantovani.org/downloads/other/MailMergePreview_DEMO.sxw
After a while I've abandoned the project because of dialog limitations, and
because in ooo2.0 the mailmerge dialog has been greatly improved, but anyway,
having this toolbar would be very handy, and ....I've been told that the
other suite has it! :-)
regards
Paolo
