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. OpenOffice.org does not have a generic approach how to switch on 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 "don't wanna know this"-attitude. We all know this happens from time to time :).
This document is a collection of the current dialogs we have, and the current solutions (or a note about the inexistence of such a solution) to switch them on once they have been switched off.
