It won't be anywhere near close. Get a copy of SmartSuit 98 or later and see what a word processor was supposed to be.

They cannot implement WordPro tabs until they implement WordPro windows for documents. Right now they have taken the brain dead Microsoft approach of having each document as a tab. Hmm... I'm not actually sure what this WordPro feature looks like (never seen WordPro in action), but maybe there are ways to achieve something similar in LibreOffce: - simplest: Use headings to navigate longer documents. Not suitable for filed letters and stuff, but for longer documents with chapters very nice. You get a chapter list in the navigator (F5) and can jump between them. - also simple way to view different parts of the same document at once: Window -> New window This opens a new window for the same window, the contents are identical, but you can view different parts of the document at the same time. - Use different regions for different "tabs". Insert->region Each region can have different page or column layouts,and so on, but will share format and page templates. Also, the navigator shows different regions, and you can jump between them - Use a global document (see also LO help for Global documents). You can have several documents and link them into one global document. There, they share the same format templates, the single documents are displayed as regions, and they can (but do not have to) be read-only. A doubleclick opens the original file for editing. So you could link all documents regarding one client/case into one global document, so you can print them all at once, or skip through them quickly or whatever it is you do with those documents. Global documents are also nice for very large pieces of work (books or image-heavy documents. You can edit the single parts independently, without having to load and handle the whole monster at once, then look at it in all its glory in the global document. You can even create a new sub-document from within the global document (but you'll need to give it a filename) All of this is probably not the same you're used to having, and porting existing docs over is not likely easy. but it might work to achieve a similar effect as the one you're describing. ... but why are you posting this in the "SVG embedding" thread? :) Zak -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
