The following table is intended to collect and document new features, enhancements or other working areas related to the next major release AOO 4.0.

The status can be tracked highlevel for example by using the colors {highlight:green}ok/done,{highlight}{highlight:yellow}in progress{highlight}and {highlight:red}open/missing{highlight}.

More detailed description or potential specifications (as base for documentation, QA, development) should be provided on demand on linked feature sub-pages. And a corresponding Bugzilla ID should be provided for detailed tracking.

| | Add Symphony gradients | when looking at Symphony I saw that there are some much nicer default \\
gradients provided for user's convenience. Our current ones are medium \\
usable (maybe created by developers), but still present in Symphony, \\
too. To easily see what I'm talking about I have created two files: \\ \- [A Impress doc|http://people.apache.org/~alg/Gradients/gradients.odp]\\
 \- [The same as png|http://people.apache.org/~alg/Gradients/gradients.png]\\
I propose to do the same as in Symphony: Add the lower symphony ones \\
additionally. It's not much space (in the install set \;-)) and offers \\
much nicer to-go gradients. \\

| Writer | Interoperabilty improvement with MS Word on Table of Contents | # The TOC data of a MS Word document is not parsed completely.And actual TOC data is from silently updating once a MS Word Document loaded.Thus,the fidelity can not be ensured especially when the document contents that impact TOC have been changed after creating TOC in MS Word.So,we propose to implement the TOC loading process to replace the update action.
# The tab between chapter number and TOC entry lost when loading a MS Word document,which leads to different gap between chapter number and TOC entry.That looks different from MS Word.
# Jump info will be lost when loading MS Word TOC created by un-checking "Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers". For this kind of TOC,end users can only press ctrl+mouse to click the page number of the TOC entry for jumping in MS Word.
# The customized character attributes will be lost when loading MS Word TOC created by un-checking "Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers". To this kind of TOC,the customized character attributes of the target paragraphs can be collected into TOC in MS Word. | Fan Zheng, \\
