Description streik 2006-06-13 14:20:46 UTC 
in excel and in lotus 1-2-3, and multiplan puts +A1+A2+A3+A4 from the years 
80' (in openoffice.org he has to put on forced the sign "EQUAL" before the 
first sign +, to be able to carry out a simple mathematical operation
 =+A1+A2+A3+A4
 And that is bad.
Because many instantaneous operations are made, and he/she gets lost a lot of 
time putting the "EQUAL" sign first.  
This is to modify it. And to make that the sign similar to pressing the key 
intro puts it automatically in the formula.
That is to say, THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TYPE THE "EQUAL" SIGN IN AN 
OPERATION OF IT ADDS, IT SUBTRACTS MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION
   +A1+A2+A3+A4+A5   ----->  ok, it is this way like has to be.
   =+A1+A2+A3+A4+A5   -----> Bad
Comment 1 streik 2006-06-13 14:27:54 UTC 
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.  
It is IMPORTANT that it is made this way.  

That when putting the first sign + it already detects that he/she is beginning 
to write one it formulates of sum.  

that when putting the first sign the + - it already detects that you are 
beginning to write a formula.

And the same sign puts it automatically in the formula when pressing the key 
Return.

In all the calculation leaves it has always been this way.

1. this is not a defect but an enhancement
2. the component is not "formula editor" but "spreadsheet"
3. the priority has been set according to the content

reassign to oc to query for the duplicate of this enhancement issue
Comment 5 stefan.baltzer 2006-06-13 15:04:16 UTC 
SBA In addition to JAs comment, please note that "importance" is subject to
personal views. 
Prio 1 is absolutely not appropriate for "(yet) one persons opinion of how
things should be".

Please read
http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority
...and set appropriate Prio flags in the future.

Thank you for your comprehension.
