Hi all, Sorry for top-posting. I am on the phone.
Anyway, just want to pick out a single from all your points: the single quote correction. The reason why it's off by default is because it is not clever enough to tell when an apostrophe (as in Rock 'n' roll, in the worst case with exactly that spelling) or an actual quote is meant, as the key pressed in either case is the same. The compromise then of course is that we get neither typographically correct... which seems to lead lots of people to misappropriate accents for apostrophes. Astron.

In my FR installs the Stylist and the Navigator are installed but not displayed. I know very few users who actually know these tools exist and what they are meant for, not telling about displaying or using them :( As for the default settings, I have been wondering since the very first times of OOo 1.1.1 why the French apostrophe is not setup (the setting is available) while the French quote is. As a consequence most French users use the wrong character and create faulty documents. The automatic setting would be soooo easy to add... Other lacking settings: display non-printing chars, activate the backup copy, prefer the richer LibO dialogs, adjust zoom settings. In Writer: add an Insert from file toolbutton, set the Table toolbar position non-floating. In Draw: add a Fontwork toolbutton (the Fontwork toolbar can't do what this button does; or did I miss smthg?) Optionally, some extensions can really help, like AltSearch. > > > I'm not sure if someone from documentation is also working on the > types of things you are writing.
