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
