If you can, try the various GUIs that you have available. If we had an apt repository, I would do Synaptics but ... Best is just to attach them to http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37513 as there are translations happening and they will need to try integrating as well.

You mean like http://documentation.openoffice.org/files/documents/75/2622/OOoA4docs_template_v0.stw which has the same text area as the USletter one? Certainly like to look at it. Can you please stuff it in Documents & files? Won't hurt to have another. > > > > > > Can't remember the names, but they are point and > > > > click.
