It depends om what how your habits are.  Takes time to reach for a mouse.

Again, i prefer keyboard. Made lots of macros with logical hierarchy for a 
drawing program once upon a time, and that really was quick.

When i answered your mail i had not recieved other answers.

All persons except one i introduced OOo to have switced.
How many have you switched from OOo to Word/Wordperfect/whatever?

It appears, when introducing them to Draw, some use it insted of Word, if they 
before was making posters, cards, signs whatever in Word (some really do that 
in word...)

>PS. Why wasn't your text wrapped while I was composing my reply?

Because i have no way of telling everybodys mail readers line lengths and 
character widths and make everyone special mails cut special places.

Plus, deep nested replays made with diffferently broken lines which make a 
mess.  If line breaking is used some mail programmay break a line, and when 
that s replied to extra identation makes that line longer and it happens it is 
broken again making a single word line between longer lines - ugly.

It may also intriduce *errors* in the information where "ASCII-art" is used!  
(often used in electronics list i participate)

Different mail readers handles this different ways.

> I sure hope it *posts* as wrapped. :-\

Fortuately it now wraps as every reader wants, clearly readable even in narrow 
windows. :)
 (if you have a working mail reader)

PS You really need to learn different people have different needs!  DS
