An Early Look At New Features In OpenOffice.org 3.1
ahziem writes "With the final release two months away and an alpha version available, it's time to look at OpenOffice.org 3.1's new features: eye candy, better charts, replying to notes in the margin, overlining, macros in Base, RTL improvements for Arabic and Hebrew, and (believe it or not) better sorting. Download and report any bugs you find."

It worked for Apple

Sun doesn't have anybody that generates a Reality Distortion Field.
Dan? Is that you? I just read on your website under the GUI Builder section that you've just had a baby. Do you have a link to your peer-reviewed journal article where you described the experience of a male having a baby? :-)
Seriously though, that's a pretty impressive project you're working on. Keep up the good work. Are you doing it by yourself?
Office 2007 made me feel stupid! I couldn't find the button to bold something.
Seriously? I mean I'm not a big fan of the Ribbon but if you couldn't find the bold bit, Ctrl-B or its there on the HOME tab, then its not Office 2007 making you feel stupid. Now picture alignment and others can take getting used to but bold?
Anyway for those of us that like Emacs Office 2007 hasn't gone far enough in hiding stuff, I want obscure macros and at least six key control sequences.
Complaining about the complexity of Word menu structures.... what has Slashdot come to?

Yes, I hope Windows 7 or 8 comes with a package manager like Ubuntu does.
Where can I email Microsoft to implement this?
Star Trek's Borg, despite supposedly being on a quest to assimilate the best of everything everywhere, go nowhere.
That's because they got crippled in 2374 by Species 8472 and crippled by Janeway in 2378. Duh. Everybody knows this.
This is the last time I catch you spouting nonsense, young man. Next time you will log out of this site and hand over your geek card at the door!

Yes, but the real question is; is underlining overappreciated?
I hate printers.
