Hi,
Love Open Office. Let me say that right up, but there are a couple of
quirks which I find very annoying.
1. Inserting text off internet. - If you have already formatted your
document (font, etc), and paste something from the internet, it seems
to
loose your previous formatting, and the webpages, and refer to 'Times
New
Roman' font, and different sized text.
What I would like to see is the same as above, except when you paste
it,
it takes on the characteristics of the formatting to the document you
have
just made.

Have you tried ”Paste special…”?

2. Pasting from other documents - Past a word or sentence, and the
same
thing happens as above. I am using Calc, and when an item is pasted,
the
'centred' call alignment I had before disappears. So my new text takes
on a
form of its own, leaving me to repeat what I just did before. This is
extremely annoying.
There is probably a simple way to fix this, but unlike MS Word, the
setup
is so different I could spend an hour trying to fix this problem (or
looking
up how to fix it rather), and thought it would be quicker just to send
an
email!

Have you tried ”Paste special…”?

3. Setting a standard font - Very difficult and had to Google it.
Perhaps it would be easier to make it possible to set a new font up
under
'fonts', to avoid the lengthy process (similar to old MS Word setup)

Make a template with your standard font. Make that template your
default template.

If you could please reply, to inform me you have received this.

We are just OpenOffice.org users like you and few people on this list
can actually do anything about anything, except filing bug reports and
things like that, just like you could do.

I'm sure Michael should see this answer, but he isn't subscribed

It can easily be found by entering the following (for example) in the
OpenOffice.org discuss annoying problem Michael Hutton

But he doesn't know that. He just thinks he's asked a question and nobody
has been polite enough to answer him.

I didn't know it either (the exact address that is). I googled it.
