Re: [office] auto-play presentation file format like PPS
Great! 

BTW, the wording improvement can refer to the guideline just uploaded by patrick.

Re: [office] auto-play presentation file format like PPS








My thoughts were a little jumbled in the last message I sent to this

thread. I should have separated the two issues.



1) The wording of the paragraph could be improved.

2) The "readonly" thing



For (2), I don't really have a strong enough feeling, so let's go with

a "readonly" view mode and be done with it.



For (1), I'm going to think about the wording and see if I can come up

with some concrete examples of improving the wording.
