I've tried to edit some code today, in editeng/source/editeng/impedit2.cxx, but nothing had an effect on the final app, after I installed it. Strange. I'll try the other locations you referred me to, later on this week. BTW, do files with different indexes target different OS/platforms? i.e. impedit.cxx, impedit[2-4].cxx [...] Before I forget it: For AOO set the tab-space to four (although I > personally would prefer ts=8 indentation, but the existing AOO codebase > assumes ts=4). > > Tab space 4 is my Xcode's default. thanks.
