Hi Matthew,

Lotus Notes has a great feature concept of a permanent pen. I can turn my
permanent pen on or off and my text will always be that style. Initially,
I'm mostly interested in having a color permanent pen style, so when I'm
editing a document for someone else, I can insert my text that will give
critique and suggestion. Maybe there is a similar concept or different way
of doing what this accomplishes. Please enlighten me if so, because I
haven't found it so far. The permanent pen idea could be useful for lots of
reasons.
Looks as a nice feature indeed.
I can suggest two things:
A) with Edit > Changes > Record your editings of a document wil be
clearly recognisable.
B) you can use character styles (via the Stylist, F11, second icon top left)
You should need to activate that style every time you place the cursor
on a different position, so 'permanent' it's not realy. However, you can
asign the style to a short-cut (Tools > Customize, find the character
styles down in the Categories list), which works rather fast.
You can look in the Help or on http://documentation.openoffice.org/ for
info on styles.
People might like a certain style to always right in, and they can
easily toggle the feature to give them their preferred writing pen.
To achieve this, working with your own templates (that can include all
kind of customized and self defined styles) is the way to go.
Anyway, great product. I use it at work, home, and for graduate school. I
have had no complaints about my work (although I do have to provide a
converted MS Word copy).
Thanks for the compliments.
Greetings,
Cor

Thanks!
Matthew
