<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">In some situations, OpenOffice.org
warns or informs the user about something using a modal dialog,
with the option to permanently switch off this special warning or
info. This option is usually implemented by a checkbox in this
dialog.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">OpenOffice.org does not have a
generic approach how to switch <I>on</I> such messages, again.
There may be reasons for the user to do so, the most simple that
the user simply did not read what OOo presented her, and just
clicked away it with a &quot;don't wanna know this&quot;-attitude.
We all know this happens from time to time :).</P>
