If you visit the bug report site, you will see I have filed several bugs
on this issue. 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? :)
