I have to send this on my private email for various [employment] reasons, so I can't mention where I work, but it's a large multinational corporation with a very 'conservative' public image. I have been using first star office then OOo and now LO on linux since before Sun bought it from the original vendor, and I have been using the OSS version since the day after it was first available. I'm considered 'useful but a loose canon' at the office, because I've championed OSS solutions since before they had that popular name, and I prototyped our original NON-M$ desktops on linux instead of windows over ten years ago and got it accepted.
At the office I have, over the years, gotten about 200 people to use OOo and now LO instead of msword. For the most part the transition was painless and everyone was happy. HOWEVER after I moved to 3.4.3 from the older 3.3.x releases I'm suddenly hearing a WORLD of complaints about one thing. The assignnment of the key to bring up search and replace. Basically they hate the change. Now instead of a <CTRL>F they have to hit <CTRL><ALT>F instead, and while from my background as a programmer that seems a trivial change, I have had over 70 complaints about this in the last week alone (and 13 more today). Secretaries, admin. assistants, and managers DON'T like change. So I have gone through the documentation and tried the various "options" available, but I don't see any way to give them what they want (<CTRL>F = find/search and replace), without editing the code, changing it there, and recompiling it myself. I have to find a solution soon as one of the complaints is from a 'management' type who is 4 levels higher than I am. He says to have it for him on Monday (PERIOD). Is there a simpler solution? (replacing the users is NOT an option, however desirable...) So if anyone can clue me in on this one, please help.
