Since it is "one more thing", I'll just ask. Could "color" be
made available by button? For whatever reason, on my home
computer (only - Win'95) the dialog box for fonts comes up really
slowly. But hitting the "Bold" button is quick. Could there be
a color button which is set to an alternate color for review
marking? In other words, I'm not looking to have a menu of colors
come up, but have the user (via somewhere else) select the
alternate color, and have the button look like a block of that
color. If pressed, just like bold/italic/etc... you get the color,
if not, you get black. Perhaps right-clicking on the button allows
the color to be set...
It's just a thought.
Otherwise, I'm converting a document to AbiWord, because it is a
volunteer project, and those on it can't all afford to get to
Word or WordPerfect. And many don't like StarOffice's integrated
approach (I'm one of them). AbiWord, while not finished,
represents the direction I like to see.
Thank you!
