Actually most users are not that concerned about this issue, so i'd say "mildly annoying to some" instead of "very unfriendly in 90% of cases". Occasionally someone asks about it. But they adapt to it as one of the quirks of the program, knowing that a do-all type of program is not going to keep everyone completely happy by definition. It's a bit like a big night out. Tomorrows hangover is a part of it, but will it really stop you drinking? Anyway read up on how to search and raise an issue here if you feel it is worth it. http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/ooQA-IssueRules.html -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
