The technical terms are ranging numerals or text figures vs the

How does that RSA apply to using Windows based OS and software?
I'd suggest trying LO, I've used it with no issues between a few
applications, as long as I remember to save in the correct MS format. My

One comment on LO interchange with MSO from recent experience working with
MSO-only consultants -- LO Track Changes didn't seem to be as reliably
portable when round-tripping doc* files with MS Word users. The changelog
was a mess by the time we were done.

My kids and I are 100% Linux at home. (My wife has a Mac, which none of
