oo3 Pro final: detail cultivation

[Alfred Lang]

After working with it for a few weeks, I think, OO3 is a great 
progress over 2, especially Pro, first in beta, now final versions. I 
even decided to transfer important work to OO, although I am still 
mourning many interesting capabilities of MORE. Yet there are many 
problems left. I mention here three most pressing ones only and hope 
they can soon be implemented in minor revisions.

1)I definitely need as soon as possible an option to easily lock and 
unlock rows or fields. For whenever I change some style details 
somewhere, almost certain there appear several unmotivated and 
absolutely unwanted style changes such as font size, color, or 
alignment changes (e.g. right instead of left) and more in different 
and unrelated places places. I cannot afford to check and rework a 
file in its entirety, whenever I change something.:

2) Another point of lacking finesse is in named styles: why do styles 
named and saved in a template disappear, when I open this template as 
a new file? It makes really no sense to name style when they have 
disappeared whenever I want to use them across files.

3) That it is still impossible to switch off numbering  in any one or 
several rows or limiting it to selected rows or groups without 
retaining them latently numbered, makes numbering useless or 
prohibits using titles in an outline. ;

That page numbering in print is still lacking, is also to regret; or 
do I simply miss the respective location outside the print and page 
setup dialogs? And why do I have to set print features in such 
obscure places in the print dialogs? Is this something Apple foresees 
with the OS? It's not user friendly in any case.
