From time to time I have mentioned that design and engineering is at least as important as writing the actual code. You should probably subscribe to the 'koffice' & 'koffice-devel' mailing lists. Specifically, you mention the need for a grid and snap to grid. These are much needed features. But, please see the archives of the 'koffice' mailing list for the vehement and hostile reaction I received when I suggested something like this. So, be warned, the "arrogant developers" might not appreciate your treading on their turf. -- JRT ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@mail.kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
