A small quibble

Dear OO people,
Have to say that I don't have any problems with the interface along the
lines that have been much discussed on the list. On the other hand I
have to say that, although in all that I have used OO3Pro for to date,
I have had the status checkboxes turned off, I do think that having
them greyed or softened somehow, especially when unchecked, would be
preferable as they are somewhat stark.
OO3 is saving me a huge amount of time in terms of preparing lecture
presentations and notes for my students, in that I can produce it all
as an outline which I can then export to Keynote for tweaking, and to
RTF which I then place in InDesign to tweak and export as PDF for the
students to download ... or if I don't have time for the latter, I can
print the outline to PDF and let them download that. It is also
brilliant for preparing multiple choice tests.
But I have discovered a minor quibble. If you have row numbering turned
on and the first word in that row is italicised, as for instance the
title of a book, then the number, together with its prefix and suffix
are also put into italic. I find this rather irritating; I don't feel
that the text style for the numbering should be conditional upon the
first word(s) when it or they are a special case and the rest of the
row is in the normal style for rows of that level.
But otherwise I am hooked on OO3Pro
