Dear OpenOffice developer, thanks for your great job so far, you implemented a lot of nifty functionality that makes it hard to use MS Office again. However I miss a few very handy tools, which would make it even harder not to use OO e.g.
Impress: - a rectangle in the left thumbnail window of my presentation which shows my current position after I zoomed into the main window. The rectangle in the left window must be moveable and the view in the main window should change with it. (-- please see QGIS for a working example www.qgis.org). - a non-linear presentation. You set up your presentation but you are not sure how long it will take but time is limited. If you realize that your presentation is too short, just select a detour which you previously defined or the opposite, use a shortcut if you have to finish quickly. The shortcuts/detours could either be chosen during the presentation using the keypad or a small icon shows that a detour exists and can be selected pushing enter or space etc.. All these detours, shortcuts should be defined on a freely arrangeable screen where slides can be moved around and connected to each other. Similar to a flow-chart. Set up new standards for presentation programs and use non-linear presentations! Word: - a Endnote etc. connection. Just a bibliography program - thats the reason why many scientist did not swap so far or already use Latex. i know it's on the way, but I can't wait to see it ;-) looking forward to see them implemented, best regards, Martin Wegmann -- Martin Wegmann DLR - German Aerospace Center German Remote Sensing Data Center @ Dept.of Geography Remote Sensing and Biodiversity Unit && Dept. of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology University of Wuerzburg Am Hubland 97074 Würzburg phone: +49-(0)931 - 888 4797 mobile: +49-(0)175 2091725 fax: +49-(0)931 - 888 4961 http://www.biota-africa.org http://www.biogis.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
