Thanks Harold.

I wonder if it could be made as default. I can't imagine many people not 
wanting it to behave this way right from the start. I can only say that 
it would frustrate most of the people I know who would have to do all of 
these extra steps to get to by today's expected behaviour.

IMO, all six modules should behave the same way as to not confuse users 
unecessarily. (Writer, Calc, Empress, Draw, Math, Base).

Cheers
