I agree that this is the main concern, and the Wizard that I have written is just that - a wizard for finding a template or add-on. I had hoped to have a working model before now but I keep getting distracted. If people would like to see where I am up to so that they can give feedback - then let me know and I'll put it on my OOo web page. [snip] > >Thus the enormous bloat of the code.

Do you have a suggestion on where I start investigating Unicode compliance? My thoughts are more along the lines of making it much easier for the community to modify code. Having small blocks of code that do a job and do it well. Use inheritance so that similar pieces of code aren't replicated in may different places. Redesigning the API to get rid of redundancy (couple of examples: extend variables in Writer so that they can be used solely instead of having variables, set references and bookmarks which all do a similar task; remove tables and have embedded spreadsheets).
