-	Migration to NeoOffice/J
-
-	When the World Scout Bureau's central office in Geneva, Switzerland, took delivery of 10 new Apple iMac G5 computers at the beginning of 2005, it was the ideal opportunity to assess whether migration to a free, open source office suite was a viable option for the 30-strong team working there.
-
-	"This release of NeoOffice/J 1.1 is a very welcome development," explains Ray Saunders, Director of Information Technology. "Minimising total cost of ownership is obviously important to an international voluntary organization, such as ours; however, the real benefits lie elsewhere. With NeoOffice/J now integrating OpenOffice.org seamlessly onto our Macs, our users here have joined the growing numbers worldwide who are very happy to work with the only truly multi-platform, multi-lingual office suite around. We can now build on this real-world experience by demonstrating in a very practical way to our 28 million Scouts worldwide that switching to open-standards based software is a genuine commitment to breaking down barriers between peoples and, ultimately, to building a better world.
-
-	"Migrating our users and their documents to NeoOffice/J has been straightforward. In fact, generally easier than I expected it to be! Visually, NeoOffice/J is very similar to what we had before - just a few items in different menus and some functions in Calc have different names from their Excel equivalents. On the whole, we've found what we needed to know either in the Help menu or in the manuals available from the OOoAuthors.org documentation project. Of the hundreds of legacy word-processing documents we've opened, only a very few have required any attention to formatting discrepancies.
-
-	"We're now beginning to play to the strengths of NeoOffice/J, including its logical use of paragraph and page styles. For example, basic newsletters for which we would previously have only considered using desktop publishing software are now being prepared completely in NeoOffice/J. Once a styled template is ready, using NeoOffice/J greatly simplifies and shortens the production cycle while maintaining realistic standards and enabling more users to see their projects through from conception to realisation.
-
-	With NeoOffice/J, we are easily able to produce multi-lingual presentations - for example, a mix of French, English and Arabic - with this free software and exchange them with our regional office colleagues working with Microsoft Office on their Windows computers in Cairo. That has felt incredibly liberating!
-
-	"I have no regrets about the decision we took back in January 2005. Realistically, the issues we've faced by migrating to NeoOffice/J have not been so very different from similar issues which we would have faced anyway by following the more conservative and costly upgrade path for our previous office suite. The results speak for themselves. They give us the confidence to proceed to the next phase which will be to migrate our other 11 offices around the world to NeoOffice/J and OpenOffice.org. I hope our positive experience can serve as an encouragement to others."

but do things wrap in these sorts of boxes?  It's cool to finally figure out how they work, really
cool....even creating new lines with >br< tags, but do they autowrap, or are <br>s necessary?  Hmm.
Nope.  You need a <br> to wrap.  Too bad.

This is a new paragraph in the same box.

Starting a line with a space creates one of these boxes, as does a <pre> tag.

This lovely box is all inside of a <pre> tag.  That means 
just hitting return starts a new line.  Now how do you wrap, no auto-wrap, I'd bet, were I a 
betting man, but since I'm not, let's see...  Nope, no auto-wrap here, either.  Just inserted a 
return instead.

A new pgh.  Bye!

Template:dashedbox is the implementation of the above box. Use it thusly:

{{dashedbox|Bob was ''here'' and '''here'''!}}

Testing Window Templates

For window and dialogue names in the Style Guide

In the Page Style dialogue, select Bar.

In the http://www.mindspring.com/~sardisson/neoj/left.pngPage Stylehttp://www.mindspring.com/~sardisson/neoj/right.png dialogue, select Bar.

Issues: I can't get a bg-image or bg-color and have this still be an inline element, because MediaWiki doesn't support span :-( (Wanted to use Lucida Grande, too....)

Hey, maybe MW1.5 does; this template has a span in it:

Check the box for This document only; this will make the language settings apply only to the current document.

Choose the Cancel button. Choose the Open this page button.

In the Complex Text Layout section, click Enable CTL.
