Hi,
Here are a few suggestions that, in my humble opinion, could help improve OpenOffice Writer.
1. Being able to click between the bottom margins of one page and the
top margins of another to hide the blank space between the two would be
nice, especially in long documents.
2. It is not currently possible to move a selection of bullets left or right simultaneously by pushing shift+tab; it is only possible to move them one at a time. The "promote/demote all" buttons took me a long time to find.
3. For improving and enlarging the "Standard" spell-check, would it be possible to have the following system: users' changes/additions are uploaded to the OpenOffice.org project site and counted for popularity. After a certain number of independent additions/edits, it would be added to the Standard dictionary file available from OpenOffice in following updates. This would work on a similar principle as WordCaptcha - you'd need a minimum number of contributions from a variety of users to add a word to the list - so that a small number of users couldn't jeopardize the file, whether intentionally or unintentionally (spelling errors). The same thing could be done for AutoCorrect.
4. Double-clicking on the rulers on the top and left of the document to change margins would be great.
Overall, thank you for the project!
