>From my limited experience, the impression I have is that ooo developers seem to arbitrarily implement new features which are inferior to the corresponding features in standard use. A good example is the tree setup for the custom installer. The approach I would like to see would be to start with the standard features of MS office and then explore what improvements can be made. IMPROVEMENTS: not arbitrary changes. Users have plenty of complaints about ms products. The ooo developers should identify these and go trom that point.

In both cases, this will leave some, or even many, people's views out of consideration. But OOo has mechanisms like this list, the various forums, and the issue reporting system to express those opinions -- and actually be heard, and often make a difference. In my experience, there is absolutely no comparison between the responsiveness of OOo (and other open source projects) and any commercial development." ____________________________________________________________ Go to massage therapy school and make up to $150/hour, click now! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3l9deFlhOGa27MTlR6BioUr5lZgj2DbYTR04vetkb38ZFblC/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
