And while we're at it, lose the distinction between Writer and Draw;
it's unnecessary. Beware low flying pigs.....
Actually, the distinction between 'spreadsheet', 'word processor' and
'drawing' is unnecessary and a thorough nuisance, I guess based on
practice born of historical necessity. Look at the inconsistent mess in
OOo where nominally similar/the same things are treated quite
differently (Calc and tables in Writer [/why/ do they have different
syntax?]; fields in Writer and Draw [Draw offers a most miserly subset];
graphics object treatment in Writer and Draw [just try aligning two
objects in Writer!!]; text frames in Write and Draw [I want to flow text
between frames in Draw.... yes, well :-{ ]...... I won't go on!)
I'd better find a nice parapet to duck behind..... :-}
