Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57518
add BannerMania like functionality
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:15 UTC
add BannerMania like functionality. BannerMania is a program from Brøderbund with which to design "banner". WordPerfect 11 has this functionality even in 3D form. More specifically text should be able to be orientated in any direction and follow any curve.
Reassigned to requirements.

OOo: 3.0 Beta m2 os: Vista Home Premium x64 there is FontWork, but this has issues: 1. FontWork is only accessible via the FontWork toolbar which has to be made visible first via View->Toolbars->FontWork. This is too much already for normal users. 2. having text selected and choosing a FontWork item from the gallery doesn't enter the selected text into the FontWork. 3. it is extremely difficult to access the FontWork object with the mouse. 4. changing the text is not obvious at all (double click and then changing the text that appears in the middle). conclusion: I have yet to see an application as usable as BannerMania or as feature- complete as the WordPerfect incarnation.
