I disagree, I think that we should do it the way that
Word did their list dialog. The template/canned style
list dialog (Joaquin's) comes up first and then we
launch the more advanced list dialog if they want more.
That was the whole basis for doing the "Advanced"/
"Feature Full" dialog in the first place. You can
always add layers of simplicity in between, but we
needed a dialog originally that could giv us access
to everything the lists could do so it could be
tested.
