--- Comment #5 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Given where the discussion is going, I'll point out that I'm BAD at the mnemonic thing, and so are the other lawyers I know. The proposal is to obviate the need to memorize anything. Drafting is a component of what I do, but I'm not glued to the screen. The need, granted specific to my profession, is for the ability to drag boilerplate blocks into the document. Lawyers used to have paralegals and secretaries who would handle this drafting for them, but that model is less and less affordable. The proposed sidebar can be accomplished by having a second document window in an outline next to the document. My hope was to have this functionality integrated into the application. The implementations in non-Libreoffice suites leaves a lot to be desired. WordPerfect does it via a separate application (Clipbook). Word has "QuickParts" which is accessible only by a drop down menu, or by building a new ribbon with links to the boilerplate text. Lotus Word Pro had Quick Entries, but again, dialog box. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
