[Issue] OpenOffice Writer with Tabs (like OpenOffice Calc)

Post by jumama »

Hello,

I like to write poetry and tales. I use openoffice, but when I have many diferent tales or poetries is too complicated to return and see any of them to modify or to clasify it .

I think that if Openoffice had tabs (like openoffice calc) it would be very easy to make any book with many chapters. Each chapter, or draft texts, would be in a tab. And finally to have a button for merging tabs with automatic whole book page numbering. And all the tabs(texts) would be record in an only document, as usual.Even to have is the same open "master" document, tabs of OPENoffice calc, OPENoffice Draw, OPENoffice writer... and when you finish your work, you would be able to save all this tabs inside an only document as usual.

I think it would be a very usable feature for the openoffice writer(for write any kind of book), what makes OPENoffice diferent from the rest of writer applications.

Thanks in advance,
Julio.

Hi, welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing your ideas.

I'm moving your topic to the discussion forum, since the Writer forums are primarily for getting help with using Writer, not for open discussions.

Also, we don't get a lot of traffic here around suggestions and ideas like this. If you really want to contribute and participate in improving OOo, I suggest you join the "User Experience" project: http://ux.openoffice.org/. Their job is to kick around and try to refine ideas for implementing in OOo.

Another place to contribute ideas is the issue tracker: Tutorial: How to report bugs. There have been dozens of requests for tabs like Firefox has, which isn't quite like your suggestion. This one is closer to yours, I think: Issue 20701: Lotus Wordpro Type Tabbed Divisions

I was about to say much the same. Please read the Survival Guide to the Forum before posting. This is a User to User forum, so product suggestions belong in Bugs and Issues. No need to use ALL CAPS to get attention.
