Well, and it's far from being a showstopper for me. The vast majority of what I do works just fine 
with paletted color. But, for example, a graphic designer (which I was in a past life :-) will use 
hundreds if not thousands of individual, carefully chosen specific colors over the course of their 
work and having to choose them via paletted subsets is counterproductive. Draw could certainly use 
a picker that presents all possible 32-bit colors in a variety of models, as well as filters for 
web, CMYK, Pantone, Toyo, etc. (not to mention knowledge of 4-color process printing, screen 
angles, trapping, dot gain, service bureaus, etc., etc.). I've not used Illustrator in quite a 
while, but even old CorelDRAW 9 <g> has a wide variety of "color presentations". But, one step at a 
time.  :-)

And just to put myself in the proper context (so I'm not misunderstood)... I have a perfectly legal 
purchased copy of MS Office 2003 here on my PC. However, an "upgrade" to MSO 2007 at work was the 
final straw in prompting me to move back to LibO (actually OOo 3.1 at the time) here at home, where 
I have control over it. I try to be very practical about it: I really like LibO and would like to 
see it continue to improve. It's not perfect, but neither is anything else and I like it.

I'll have to look deeper, obviously.  :-)

Thanks again.
