Also shouldnt be hard to include in the core of AOO, just edit the UI default menu calling the function that does the process.
Example here: http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/xref/aoo-trunk/main/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterCommands.xcu#1668 and the code here: http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/xref/aoo-trunk/main/sw/source/ui/dialog/wordcountdialog.cxx The question is how and why do we do this this way and if those points are still valid. It does make sense to have it on Properties and Tools. Having them on the taskbar seems out of place. Just cuz MSO does it, is not a good excuse.
