Please don't set follow-ups to newsgroups the OP doesn't subscribe to
without giving a reason and without telling the OP *beforehand*. Thanks.

Some things that still "bug" me about OpenOffice:
1. The page ZOOM toolbar button needs to be a dropdown selection,
instead of the more cumbersome separate dialog window.
It is already. You are looking in the wrong place for the dropdown.
I looked around and couldn't find a toolbar button with a dropdown
selection. Care to back up you claim with some facts/instructions?
2. The document page should be CENTERED on the screen instead of on the
left edge, which is visually "unbalanced".
This is a user setting. Try Optimal.
That only centers the document at *one* fixed zoomlevel (one too big for
my needs). It's a poor workaround, at best, and an ingenuous
"suggestion" at worst.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
I'm already registered. Thanks anyhow though.
6. Double click should select a sentence; tripple click should select a
paragraph. (it might already do this)
It selects a sentence.
My mistake. *quadrul* should select a paragraph. (it seems OOo already
does this, so nevermind...) :-\
I would also like to ask you to assist in making OOo better. If you can
code, there are opportunities to contribute.
I (unfortunately) can't code.
I can see you are
articulate
OK, I'm blushing now. You charmer. :-)
and can offer you the opportunity to improve the
documentation. ( See http://documentation.openoffice.org/ )
I might take a look there. however, my time is very limited and my
interest are in the UI and feature-set of OOo. Also, my primary interest
is still Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox (I'm "taken" ;-) ).
If you have
command of languages other than English, you have the opportunity to
translate from English to your language of choice or vice versa.
I speak German natively. Got a link?
BTW, I think OOo should be more like WordStar as it was better than
WordPerfect in many ways.
Can you give three specific examples (WS > WP) that would benefit a
large portion of the user base?
