one for requirements I wrote also an extensuion (complementary method) to this issue, see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67499 That issue describes a way to: - bring even more structure inside Name Definitions - defines a way to have 'Comments' for any defined name - have a greater overview of both the names and (simultaneosly) the range they point to That issue describes an extension to the 'Insert -> Names -> Define Names' window, so the issue name (Headers) might be slightly misleading. See first my third post on that issue (I have tried to make it more understandable, because my first 2 posts on that feature were somehow more difficult to understand). There is a far better description for this feature available on the OASIS mailing list. David Wheeler provides additional reasons why such locally scoped names are useful, e.g. when copying sheets, the names will still refer to the original range instead of auto-correcting to the new sheet. For the full discussion see: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200608/msg00001.html David proposes also the necessary ODF-changes to support this feature. This feature request seems to be supported by the Sun Spreadsheet team, too: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200611/msg00085.html I hope this clarifies the issue further and also speeds the implementation up. In ODF 1.2 it is possible to restrict a name to one sheet or to make the name global. LibreOffice has implemented a UI for this. The idea of a "comment" is different and should be put into a separate bug report. |
