What a pity...

|  Postponement isn't an alternative as if you look into the current KSpread
| 1.1, than I think you will agree, that KSpread 1.2 has at least much less

| KPresenter.
|

Yes, it's better to keep all components together.

| time between 1.2 and 1.3 will be much shorter than the time between 1.1 and
| 1.2. But this is the job of our release dude.

ok, I see and agree with you.
Would it be possible to get KOffice 1.3 within 3-4 months timeframe (after 
release of KO 1.2)?
I *hate* to reboot to Windows, to read/write  Word/Excel files, and to print 
out them.
And OpenOffice is TOO SLOW, plus has problems with Cyrillic...

|  attention and more developers too.

|  Ehm, forgot last time to mention:
|  Basic support was already done by Torben Weis, Norbert reenabled simple
| zoom support, John made some enhancements and David as well as Laurent did
| some work too. So it's really not my own work, this is a pure KOffice team

I remember your name as you closed my bug (wishlist) for Zoom in KSpread!
Thanks everyone!
:-)
