Bug 157711

Description:
“Enjoin” the major office products (Calc, Writer, Impress, ect…) within the “workbook” file format, with each tab/sheet in the file individually linked to the specific software type - like the bottom left of a Calc screen.  

Quite frequently, in the office world, there is need to have a Word Document, a Spreadsheet/Workbook file, a presentation, and possibly a Visio type file, all required within a single project.

There are all the links that users try to keep straight and often cannot, and updating from one file to the next - a lot of waisted time for the end user - maybe things are better now, but I think probably not.

If users could open a single "Office File” (that could just be some kind of skin) that had as an example, one tab as a spreadsheet, one tab as a Doc, one a Presentation, the end user would be able to stay in the same file (skin) that has those tabs at the bottom of the working screen - likely linking to itself, all over the place.


So the user only has one consolidated file to work with on a specific project, and could use within that file any part of the office system - It might just be a skin as I mentioned and behind the scenes each of the actual calc/doc/presentation… files exist, but it would be way cool if all the separate file types were written into a single consolidated “Office.sdpv" file.
 

That’s the idea.  I was an end user, and Excel power user for thirty years, and thought MS Office would do something with that idea a long time ago… By the end of my office work, I had a number of projects that included XL/Word/PowerPoint/Visio files - most of them linked.  One interface - incredible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.the idea is when you create a new office file, you can select what types of working screens and protocols  will be on each "page/tab" within the file 
2.If that could be done, then the links between functions/spreadsheet/writer/presentation would all be within one workbook file
3.

Actual Results:
Files have to be linked and can get lost

Expected Results:
A complete renewal of the office experience for multi product users


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This really would be a cool new way to use office products.
