Re: [libreoffice-users] Lotus WordPro

Dear Brian

Being a Lotus Word Pro user myself and with the help of Tom Davis, I did 
post Divisions / Tabs as a "feature request" some months ago

This is the reply:-

IMHO implementing the tab feature would take quite some work here, 
instead it
might be good to insert a set of links in the document at the top to allow
quick jumping to the various sections;

But of course, this is all work. Lets see if some volunteer jumps in to 
do it -
otherwise if you pay someone to do the work, you can have it done as you 
like I
guess.

I would think that the more that it is requested the powers to be may 
see the light, but I suspect it will come down to that old joke about 
asking for directions where the reply is "you should not start from here"!
