------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 27 03:57:57 -0800 2005 ------- It would be really comfortable to have the formatting controls remember the last command. Let's see a use case: - I'm editing cells in Calc, and I want to give a pale yellow background to the cells I am interested in (e.g. a university exam, taxes, etc.) - select the cell with the mouse - choose a nice gradient of yellow (say "Yellow 2" - found another cell to color - oh, well,...I want to paint it like the former one, but must tell it again wich color to use, and of course I don't remember the gradient of yellow I've chosen. Was it "Yellow 2" or "Yellow 3"? Naah, let's go back to the previouse cell...uhm "Yellow 2" and so on. :) This _is_ frustrating, especially when you do it for work (which is the most important OOo target, isn't it?) I think that many users (especially the new ones) will like this behavior: - it's natural: less stuff to remember when editing, more concentration on contents instead of formatting - it's something users expect coming from MS Office: after all, Excel is not so bad in these use cases :) I understand that this change could upset old OOo users, so please take the time to evaluate this enhancement. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
