I don't think it should be fixed.  I think it should be thrown away
entirely.

It's not just slow, buggy, unstable and with a hideously inconsistent
interface -- it's also entirely unfriendly to use for anyone who hasn't
ever used an "office suite" before.


In fact, I think the entire "Office Suite" concept is flawed.  It should
be replaced by a set of simple and elegant programs that each work
independently but whose results can be combined to produce work.

Sadly I don't have time to work on anything like that right now ;)
