Description idwal 2005-05-04 08:41:25 UTC 
A couple of suggestions on features which I believe would improve useability of
OpenOffice.
:
1. The drop-down menus with Font and Font Size would be more useable if the
currently selected Font / Font Size were centred in the dropped down window.
That way it would be easier to select the previous item in the list, just as
likely as wanting the next item.
:
2. It would be helpful if the "Recent Document" list carried the list of recent
documents relevant to the particular application in which the list was opened,
i.e. text documents in Writer, spreadsheets in Calc, etc.
As it is, if we use Writer for a number of text documents and then go back to
working on a spreadsheet there is, very likely, no spreadsheet in the "Recent
Documents" list.
:
Whilst making suggestions may I add my voice to the requests for a Lotus WordPro
filter (from and to). It should not be a huge problem now that IBM has
wholeheartedly embraced the (Linux, etc.) community.
