Greetings OOo Engineers!
So far so good on the beta testing of OOo SRC680 m226 PPC X11 en-US which has been remarkably stable for me and six other people here (save for the persist "Error saving the document. Error in writing sub-document styles.xml" when you create and save a document with some character styles and a graphic image). We love the souped-up Options panels and improved text renderings and animated gifs run swell. We'd like to suggestion a tiny menu bar window of live running word/character counts and a "tri-save" backup option (master copy, backup copy, and a third bkup out to iDisk or flash drive. Cherry on top: "Compare Versions" mode would be nice to search-compare all previous versions of a doc to find which ones most matches the current one, in effect allowing one to see a "history" of alterations of a doc. Currently you can't customize a toolbar which allows one to use elements of the View menu as commands such as turning off and on the formating toolbar.
Much ado requests for making it much easier for non-techies to do wildcard searches. Some miss finding spaces before or after paragraph returns without some techie input how. Can there be a more simple and less techie method of implementing wildcard searches? How about extending wildcard search-matches within docs on a disk? Another neat feature would be to import a plain text document and have the ability to find a word/paragraph and replace that word/paragraph with the same word/paragraph plus a paragraph style or character style or ruler setting. That ability alone would do wonders in easily creating screen script formatted documents out of plain text documents!
Keep up the great work! James Greenidge Queens NY --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
