Resizeable Legend	i28670	Specification Chart Legend	The legend within charts can be resized now.	Ingrid Halama	speclink	chart
Calc: Changed "DataPilot" to "Pivot Table"	i116540		In the Calc GUI, the term "DataPilot" has been replaced with the term "Pivot Table".	daniel.rentz@sun.com		sc
CSV export option "Quote all text cells"	i116636		Previously, in Calc CSV export, all content from text cells was quoted with the selected text delimiter. Now this is optional and happens only if the new check box "Quote all text cells" is selected. By default, the text delimiter is added only if the cell content contains the field delimiter, text delimiter or multiple lines. When a CSV file is loaded and saved again without editing the filter settings, the import option "Quoted field as text" is used for the "Quote all text cells" option. The default for "Quoted field as text" is now "off" (but if it's changed in the import dialog, that is still saved as new default in the configuration).	niklas.nebel@oracle.com		sc

Calc: Unlimited number of fields in Pivot Table layout dialog	i5759		In the Pivot Table layout dialog, it is now possible to add more than 8 fields to the "Row Fields", "Column Fields", and "Data Fields" areas, and more than 10 fields to the "Page Fields" area.	daniel.rentz@sun.com		sc

Date Axis	i25706	Axis Scale	Date axis are available now for category charts.	Ingrid.Halama@oracle.com	speclink	chart
Scan rows for correct type infortion for Text databases	i115655		The MaxRowScan setting allows to define how many rows should be scanned to find the correct type of a column. In the past only the first row was scanned.	ocke.janssen@oracle.com		dba
Math: new option to save only used symbols for each formula	i114767		It's not really a feature but an enhancement: In order to save on document file size (namely in Writer documents with many formulas) there is now a new option to save only those symbols which each that are used in that very formula. By default that option will be active. Geek info: However there is a small drawback, so far, if you work with different office installations, documents with formulas could be used to implicitly import ALL user-defined symbols in Math from one office installation to the next, even if none of them got used in a formula. Since now only the actually used symbols get saved only those can be implicitly imported into a different office installation. To get the old behavior simply turn off this new option.

Automatic baseline for Math objects	i972		With CWS tlmath01 there is a new check-box named 'Math baseline alignment' available in the 'Formatting Aids' tab of the Writer and WriterWeb option pages. When this option gets checked then ALL Math OLE objects already existing in the Writer document that are anchored 'as character' (and only those with this anchor type!) will be automatically aligned to match the baseline of the formula with the one of the surrounding text. Also new Math objects inserted later on will be automatically aligned as well. As long as this option is active manually movement of Math objects that are anchored 'as character' is not possible, and thus vertical alignment in the 'Object' context dialog is now disabled as well. For new documents this option is set by default. When loading old documents it is not set. In any case, once a document gets saved again the current value of this option will be saved along with the document. This automatic baseline alignment was implemented by Michal Spisiak as part of this years Google Summer of Code, the mentor for this was Eric Bachard. Thanks to both of them!	thomas.lange@sun.com		formula editor
password entry in PDF export dialog changed	i114278	PDF Export Dialog	During PDF export one can enter two passwords ("open" and "permission" password). These can now be entered in one pass instead of two separate dialogs.	Matthias Müller-Prove /MMP	speclink	framework

list box controls: "Bound field" is allowed to be 0, too	i114540	The "Bound field" property of a list box control, specifying which column of the list boxes result set should be used for data exchange, can have the value "0" now.	frank.schoenheit@sun.com	dba
Base: object trees: selecting entries by typing their name	i31275	The tree lists in Base's main application window, now support selecting entries by typing their name.	frank.schoenheit@sun.com	dba
