Dear developers,

If I had any programming ability, I would try to create two features that
would help me immensely when I use Open Office Writer.  First, the program
really needs a "double indent" command.  This would be to indent both the
left and right margins equally by pressing a single button.  This would be
repeatable.  Word has this feature; WordPerfect has this feature; Writer
does not have this feature.  It is very important to anyone writing or
translating scholarly documents, especially if the cannot afford to buy one
of the paying suites.  I believe that the absence of this feature is
costing you a significant segment of your audience.

Second, it is possible to format text in small capital letters, but it is
tedious.  I think this could also be reduced to a single button click.
 While I am no programmer, I would think that, if you can create a
single-click hanging indent, you should be able to create a single-click
small caps command.  It would be nice to have this as a button that could
be added to a toolbar.  Even putting it in a fonts box would be helpful.
 Thank-you!

Despite these two minor lacunae in the program, I enjoy using Open Office
Writer.  Please continue the good work.

Best,
