To me, the AOO sidebar properties panel adds nothing. As you said, it only duplicates the top toolbar. More importantly (for me at least), the styles panel is buried *beneath* the properties panel. With LO, this is where I dock the styles panel. So, now, with AOO, I have to do an extra click to gain access to the styles panel. I've tried several times to find a way to put the styles panel on top (as I have absolutely no need for the properties panel), and I have yet to find a way that works. I may be missing something that the AOO folks can explain to me.

I understand that the properties panel was taken from the Symphony user interface. But, much, much, more desirable would have been Symphony's tabbed document interface. So many programs have it, and it is soooooo useful that I don't understand why neither LO nor AOO have adopted it (yet).

Hi :)
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried the Apache OpenOffice 4.0 yet?

I really liked the sound of the toolbar down the side so i just gave it a quick go. I was a tad disappointed to find that toolbar was in addition to the ones we both already have at the top and mostly was just a duplication of many of those buttons. However 1st time try-outs of new things seldom go completely smoothly! lol

I would really like to see both LO and AOO go this route and faster. At the moment all programs seem intent on making the screen more and more like a letter-box slit with more and more wasted space at the sides and more and more crammed in at the top&bottom.

It's becoming tougher and tougher to see a whole document all at the same time.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks, Tom. I always disable quickstarter as a matter of course.

Hi :)
I think it's the same conflicts as between any 2 versions of LibreOffice or
any 2 versions of AOO or OOo.  Basically avoid having both open at the same
time.  That might mean turning off the Quickstarter of both of them.

Are there any known conflicts with having LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 installed on
the same computer? In my never-ending, obsessive (and admittedly futile)
search for computing perfection, I want to try both programs to see which
better meets my techno-needs.
