I'm not expecting anybody to take this and run with it, but ... My main reason originally for being interested with LibreOffice was "can I add an editing window like WordPerfect Reveal Codes?". Because without *that* you will find it very hard to win over the WordPerfect fanatics. Seeing as LO is based on XML as the document format it should be easy - all "reveal codes" is is a window with text and all the markup visible. But the crucial point is that it is an *editing* window. I remember talking with someone (can't remember his name) on LWN a fair bit about WordPerfect, and he thought emulating reveal codes would be simple *until* I said "without the edit functionality it's a waste of space". Microsoft made that mistake. And of course, with that, all these particular problems would "disappear" :-) But I've got interested in Base now, so I suspect that itch won't get scratched by me now. Pity :-( Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
