More than 24 hours to go…
…since we have just extended the deadline for sending in papers for the LibreOffice Conference. You can now send in your proposals until August 8th!

I did not know how to make a suggestion for future versions of LibreOffice Writer, so I hope that this medium is not too inappropriate.
Two things, in my opinion as a regular user, could be improved.
The first involves selecting a large text (can be all text) and apply any changes to the format. The result is that the screen moves to the end of the selection when maybe you want to make a general change but still working at the site where it was. It’s really annoying because, especially in long texts, sometimes I spend a good while before returning to the point where I was.
The second has to do with the use of screen space. One possibility that MS Word did was to hide the space between pages and the top and bottom margins of the pages. It is a good feature because it allows better use the screen, but now with netbooks and wide screens.
I discovered by accident that feature in MS Word. Actually at first I was somewhat shocking, but over time I started using the point that when I switched to OpenOffice and LibreOffice (use them in different computers) I spent a long time trying to find that option.
I hope these remarks are not the result of my bad habits of use but that can improve such a great program.
Thanks for all the work
