    Comment:
Open Office 0-7-dev plugin, this changes the way style information is handled thus allowing users to define their own styles in the OpenOffice.org application.

However, there are implications to this. It allows users to mix style and content which is exactly what Forrest is trying to get away from. Nevertheless it must be recognised that some users expect to be able to do this. This handling of styles is intended to be configurable, that is we should be able to turn it off completely and only allow the predefined Forrest styles, or we could turn off unrecognised styles (for exampe, underline or font) and convert recognised ones (such as bold) to their Forrest equivalent, or we could allow free for all styling in the document.

This will allow the end user to decide on how to use OpenOffice.org.

This code will go into SVN once we have the new strucutre agreed upon and implemented. In the meantime we can place updates here.
    Changes:
             Attachment changed to openOffice.org.zip

Description:
The attached files provide provide support for embedded images in Open Office documents and for Open Office Impress documents.

They also provide the start of support for relvant style information, scuh as Bold, italic etc.

However, these files were created against a fairly old version of Forrest and it is not a simple case of committing the changes anymore. They need to be carefully merged with current code.

It is recomended that this be done as part of the excercise to create an Open Office plugin so as to not to cause any disruption in trunk.
