Cheers for that, Roy. Yeah, I know about the front-ends. My favourite is
Texmaker which I find quite useful. Sadly, the problem is in the coding not
in the user interface. I'm doing things that TeX simply wasn't designed to
handle. The running dictionary style header is only a tiny part of the
entire job and I'm rather pleased with myself, to be honest, that this is
the only bit that seems intractable. It's a capability that an office suite
should have and the openoffice devs have recognised it. They want me to
submit it as a feature request. Ironically, that fact that you can't do this
with MSOffice works against me since features lacking in OO that "the
competition" already have, gives the feature request a higher priority.
According to them, I am the first one to request this formally although I
saw a posting in some forum where an Excel user was asking for the same
thing. There were no answers to her query. I'm glad I'm dealing with
Openoffice devs rather than M$. I'd be rotting in my grave before I got an
acknowledgement but with FOSS I should see this feature appear before not
too long. The community is fantastic!
