Andy, I am not talking about extracting the text files files inside an unzipped ODT file. Or purposes of this discussion it does not matter that ODF is not a compressed binary. Files are things that you can drag around in your file manager. Documents are things that you can print. Wouldn't it be nice to have an expenses.ods file that would have one spreadsheet for your home expenses, another for your business expenses, and a third for your hobby expenses? You can do that today, in OOo Calc. They are called sheets. Wouldn't it be nice to have an expenses.odt file that would have one document that listed your home expenses, another that listed your business expenses, and a third that listed your hobby expenses? Why have three different ODT files for these related documents? How about multiple-language resumes? Why must I keep an English resume in a separate file from my Hebrew resume? Why can't they both be in the same ODT file, just as multiple spreadsheets can be stored in a single ODS file. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
