This is NOT meant for support, but to provide you feedback on Open Office.
I have been in the computer business to see apps come and go. From Scripsit, to Wordstar, to WordPerfect, and finally Winword. I have created web pages using Notepad, Frontpage, even cumbersome Winword.
I decided to give your product a try, all in the spirit of supporting the open source projects. I have to say, it has been a bit tough. My comments are restricted to the HTML component.
- I make extensive use of styles when I create documents of any size. I find styles eminently useful in giving a document a consistent look. I have not found a reliable way of making changes to a style stick. I have used Format/Styles, and Format/Stylist to make changes to the style. Neither have worked. The format keeps reverting to a previous setting necessitating frequent updates.
- Your program insists on placing a <p> followed by <br><br> </P> at the end of a table. Editing the HTML tags works just fine, until the ext time the document is saved. Then, the tags are back. But not all the time. On occasion, the tags disappear entirely. In other situations, the tags reappear on some of the tables, but not all. Then at other tables, all the tables are reset.
- When you hit CTRL-Home from inside a table, you are taken to the first cell of the table, not to the top of a document
- Highlight a bunch of paragraphs it the down arrow key, and you are taken to the top of the selection; highlight a line of text, hit the down arrow key, and you are taken to the end of the text, a bit inconsistent.
- No preview in a browser that I could find.
I guess that is all for now.
Keep up the incredible work you are doing. I could not program my way out of a paper bag!
