use term 'page' instead of 'slide' in Draw i40806 feature-info:
In Draw the term 'Page' should be used for pages instead of 'Slide' which is the name in IMpress. Following Kontextmenu Entries in Draw have changed: 1) LeftPagePane-KontextMenu- D~elete Slide -> D~elete Page 2) MiddlePane-KontextMenu- Slid~e -> Pag~e 3) MiddlePane-KontextMenu-Slide- D~elete Slide... -> D~elete Slide 		speclink

Preselection of OOo applications from command line i42804 feature-info:
Until now calling "soffice -calc" or "scalc" from the command line could be used only for creating a new empty document. Adding a file name to this command line ("soffice -calc foo.bar") resulted in two windows, one with the empty Calc document, the other one with the file opened in the default application for this file type. There are two good reasons to change this: (1) It is confusing. (2) There are a lot of requests to open certain document types from the desktop or the command line by an application different to the default application OOo would chose for this file. Most often this request is done for text files with arbitrary extensions (others than csv) that should open in Calc. Now soffice -calc foo.bar will open foo.bar in Calc if possible. That means first OOo tries to find a suitable Calc filter for the file and only if it doesn't find any it proceeds as usual. Of course this feature works for all applications (not only for Calc) and on all platforms. This feature can also be used for system integration, f.e. by registering "scalc" as the default application for all files with extension "bla". Then every doubleclick on a "bla" file will load it into Calc (if possible, if not, OOo finds a suitable module). 		speclink

default page listed in available master pages i40371 feature-info:
In Impress in the right task pane there is a list with all available Master Pages. This list does now at the first position contain the default Master Page. Thus a user can easily switch back to an empty Master Page by clicking this first entry now. 		speclink
not set 		presentation
removed ... from 'insert slide' i40806 feature-info:
In Draw and Impress there were wrong points removed from menu entry: Menu-Insert- Slid~e 		speclink

Excel filter: Load/save "Use labels in formulas" option i42320 feature-info:
The Excel BIFF8 (Excel 97+) import/export filters now support the document option "Automatically find column and row labels" (Calc: Tools->Options->Calc->Calculate) / "Accept lables in formulas" (Excel: Tools->Options->Calculate). Older Excel versions (Excel 95 and before) do not support labels in formulas. 		speclink
