Sounds like you both should read this: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm Many of the points raised apply equally to your favourite desktop, application, or tool. I've actually been thinking of asking the author if i could rewrite it from an OO.o perspective. Word Perfect and OpenOffice.org use two different models for their method of doing a similar task. OO.o uses a well established style-based industry model, which Microsoft Word did not invent. Reveal codes is not the be all and end all, it does have its own limitations. Actually TeX is the greatest Word Processor out there but you may find LyX an implementation more to your taste. Yeah, i just couldn't resist ;) -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |

[discuss] Proposing a new User Experience project on OOo Posted: 16 Jan 2007 04:06 AM PST Hi Lutz, On Tuesday, 2007-01-16 13:04:28 +0100, Lutz Höger wrote: First I thought "why another project, why not populate the UI project instead" (and call it User iXperience ;-) then I continued to read your explanations and became more inclined to a separate UX project. However, I'm not sure if the UI code project then should continue to exist or if it shouldn't be a subdivision of the UX project instead, provided that UX left the incubator status and became an accepted project.

DDE link to Calc In Open Office Posted: 08 Jan 2007 09:09 AM PST Hi: I'm trying to get data into Calc. To mirror what I'm doing now with Excel (only because Calc failed me on this point), once I get data into Excel, I can readily share it with colleagues, when necessary, simply by copying and pasting the final text (not the DDE formulas). I think you are quite correct that DDE was superceded. However, the software I'm using has many users around the world, and once a stable and widely-used important application is built, I think they are perhaps reluctant to re-write it to do the latest with it. This setup is somewhat idiot-proofed, so that even someone like me can set it up on their own. All I did, as previously mentioned, was copy three files from the proprietary software folder and put it into the Office folder and then I was good-to-go. I received good support from Thomson Financial, for setting this up in Excel (there has been some later need for support, on some points). While the support was good (not perfect, but good) they were not the least bit interested in extending the discussion to other spreadsheet programs or to OLE.
