Subject: [discuss] Texting (writing) for Visual Impaired

 

Dear Openoffice.org developers,

 

 

One particular feature I would really like to see implemented in future
versions of OpenOffice_Writer is the possibility of writing documents with
one font typeface in web layout mode (or similar) but be able to save the
document or export it (ex. in .pdf format) with another (customizable) font
type(s), etc... according to a pre-established template for example.

 

I know this seems somewhat unorthodox, but if you consider people with
visual disabilities this is strongly preferable and important. I don't know
up to which extent this aspect is part of your own policies as software
developers, but I can assure you that for visual impaired persons this
feature has a very strong impact! Also, coupled with this feature, the
possibility of upon writing the document to have a blue screen background
(or another high contrast color) with written white text to increase the
contrast, even with low sized-fonts.

 

The main idea is to be able to write a document with a 'blueprint' type
background with white text but be able at the same time to save the document
or export it with customizable settings. Also, this feature should be file
related, meaning that each setting should be independent from file-to-file.
This way, I can write a document and save it in a blue screen mode according
to my own settings to be able to continue writing it later on, and another
person be able to use the same word processor without the need to change the
"my" settings to his/her own preferences.

 

The preferences and settings should be independent and file related. The
idea is to write documents according to the description made (independent of
formatting for instance) and the output made customizable according to the
preferences (type of font, size of font, layout of the document, etc.). Hope
I was clear. Thank you very much for the attention.

 

 

/Mauro Claudino.
