Change Log:
  • Grammar checking is now available in OpenOffice.org Writer. Therefore the former dialog gets extended to handle grammar checking too. The dialog is now also able to show a vendor logo as a bitmap and name in the dialog title.
  • As practice has shown, it is a quite common case that OOo is used to edit documents of alien formats on network. Unfortunately it looks to be impossible to let the file be locked using file system locking, since it does not work in heterogeneous file systems as expected, and the mentioned scenario has been recognized as very important one. Thus the locking mechanics of OOo is not recognizable for third-party applications, except they implement support for OOo locking mechanics. The implementation in childworkspace fwk94 let the alien files be locked using the OOo file locking mechanics as well. That solves at least the cases when a file of alien format is edited only by OOo3.x in network.
