Hi 
How did Lotus WordPro organise it? Did they have the tabs vertically down the
side? Presumably that was pre-widescreen so it would have been less of an
issue.

Lotus had tabs down the right side of each document you were currently
working on. These were tabbed document divisions. You could not only
dynamically go to a document division by clicking on the tab, you could
right click on it and get a menu for changing order and such.
Completely indispensable for authors. Each tabbed division is a
chapter, index, toc, etc. If you want to change the order of chapters
you simply changed the order of the tabs.
Documents were kept on a window list. ALT-W brought down the menu where
each of your document windows was listed with a number in front of it.
You simply hit the number. If you went past 9 open documents the last
entry was m More Windows. Clicking or hitting m brought up all of the
windows in a scrolling list for you to arrow around then hit enter.
This worked on all Windows platforms and all OS/2 platforms the same
way.
What was/is still not equaled by any word processor on the market is
TABBED DOCUMENT DIVISIONS.
Surf over to eBay and pick yourself up _any_ of these SmartSuite
editions. Neither WordPro nor Organizer have been equaled in the market
place despite all vendors and developers having 10+ years to do it.
Compiz is a crime against humanity. There are exactly 4 people in the
known universe who like that pathetic excuse for a system crasher.
Hi
I thought it's just for fancy desktops like spinning cubes with movies playing
on all sides and wobbly windows and stuff like that.

It is turned on by default in both the latest releases of Ubuntu and
OpenSuSE. It is a bug ridden piece of doo-doo which hoses all mouse
pointer changes making most new distros unusable by AARP members and
people with poor vision. It will randomly and without reason popup a 4
desktop control window which "end users" know nothing about. If you are
impatient while a computer is booting and move your mouse while compiz
is loading IT WILL CHANGE YOUR SCREEN SIZE.
There are only 4 people in the world who like that hunk of doo doo.
Hi
I use 2 old crt's rather than flat-screens or at work the flat-screens are
fairly old and have really old, bad graphics cards or gpus. So fancy features
tend to be turned off or right down low. I can just about get wobbly windows
but the cube and stuff eludes me

Did you at least try the extension suggested by toki on this topic?
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/WorkInProgress/Tabbed_Windows_Extension
I tested it and it does work in LO 3.4 (at least under Windows XP)

and
it is very quick.Are you aware that if you press Ctrl+Tab you can do the same between
documents (or tabs) within the same program?Sorry, but I use Ubuntu as my main system.
I use Vista on my dual boot laptop only when I have no other choice.
A bit off topic:
Then your options are even better. Ctrl+Tab (Ctrl+⇥) works in Ubuntu
(and probably in all the other GNU/Linux-distributions as well), but
if you installed the Compiz-Fusion settings manager, you have so many
more options.
Of course I tweaked everything in my system, so I don't really
remember how it worked before all those tweaks, but I am 100% sure
that Ctrl+⇥ works by default. Maybe also Mod4+⇥ (I think the Mod4 key
is associated to the Win-key by default), or maybe I tweaked that one
myself…
And I am pretty sure you can switch between desktops with Ctrl+Alt+→
and Ctrl+Alt+←, but as I said, explore the Compiz-Fusion settings
since there is so much more you can do there. Compiz-Fusion is
installed by default in Ubuntu these days, but for some strange reason
the settings manager is not…! You can easily install it with Synaptic
or the Ubuntu software center though, just search for
”compizconfig-settings-manager” in there. Or install it from a
terminal:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
The settings manager will end up at System → Preferences, so go there
and have some fun…!

Hi
Even without Compiz you can edit a lot of keyboard short-cuts from
System - Preferences - "Keyboard short-cuts"
The Ctrl & Alt & arrow for moving around the desktops is another neat trick,
thank again

Hi
I tried it in 3.3.2 and it works but it's very rough. Tabs are listed as
"window 1", "window 2" and so on rather than using the file-name. Ctrl Tab
doesn't move to the next tab but Ctrl W does close just the currently open tab
leaving the rest open.

It has never caused problems for me, I use a Ubuntu derivative with it.
I can not say it is buggy.

You would be the only person on the planet it _hasn't_ caused problems
for.

It states that is Does Not work on 3.0, so it is not something that is going to work for 3.3.2 or 3.4.
Yes, i saw the warning and then completely ignored it and tried it anyway. It
worked! Ubuntu 10.04, LO 3.3.2 and i have opened and closed Writer and Calc
quite a few times since then. It still works.

Yes, that and some hundreds of other things, most of them useless, but
some of them are really making life a little bit easier. Just
inactivate the useless stuff and activate the useful ones.

Are those the same four people as those mentioned above?
The only 4 people in the world that like Compiz are the people who wrote
Compiz. It serves absolutely NO useful purpose, yet continually trashes
both systems and screens.
In OpenSuSE 11.4, just try changing your mouse pointer size. Same thing
in last 2 Ubuntu. There are THOUSANDS of other bugs and system problems
caused by that completely worthless puddle of bits. It is horribly
designed and written by people that don't have the slightest bit of
programming skill.

I actually find it very useful and I don't have any problems of that
kind you mention, as far as I have noticed. However, I won't try to
convince you to use it or anything like that. The world is a lot more
fun with different kinds of people; otherwise we could populate the
earth with clones of me…
So please continue to not using Compiz-Fusion.
Also, when people ask me about GNU/Linux and what I think, I usually
recommend them to continue with Windows. That way, I don't have to
help them when things go wrong; I just tell them that I don't know
anything about it.

That's brilliant And then when they have problems with Windows you can say
you don't know how to fix it because you use gnu&linux to avoid those types of
problems :))

Hi
There seems to be a question about it interfering with accessibility which
sounds pretty serious but i don't know where would be the best place to report
it. It's nothing to do with LibreOffice of course but it must be very
frustrating trying to get anyone appropriate to listen.
