Yikes! Don't get me started ;-) The current file handling strategy makes it trivially easy--likely, even--for File > Open/Save to lose data and/or work, even for expert users. That includes working with text file data in Calc, and that's why I use/recommend Insert > Sheet From File instead of File > Open. Ideally, File > Open/Save would guarantee that the user's data and work are saved faithfully. For other modes of data access, something like File > Import/Export, or Save Copy As, could be used. There are a couple of open issues for this, but nothing beyond some discussion: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74415 Anyway, that's a much, much larger and longer-term issue than what menu items are included. I suppose it's fair to say there's no clear consensus on what the "right way" would look like either. <Joe _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
