There is a small mistake in this and last week's writer items, multiple page view has nothing to do with OOXML import, but with a new layout possibility of writer, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/ToDo/Layout/Multi_Page_Layout

Wow, the protos of Multi_Page_Layout look impressive.

Too bad that the first features of Notes2 will not be part of version 2.4. They are a huge step forward.
