Features on the header/footer, doesn't support flexibility on where to put pictures/logo. Handling of embedded pix as well was a bit poorer than MS Word (mahirap iposition ang pix); but then, this was more than 12 months ago. I even checked the OO forum, and found nothing that could help me. It was alright to use it for creating reports with basic formatting, e.g. tabs, bullets, diff. fonts, and the likes; but decided not to use it for layout of special reports. What I normally did, just to try out its functionality, is to port an original work from MS Word to OO; it worked, just don't touch the original MS format.
Pero okay na rin siya for something that is free... Malaking tulong relative to a proprietary version. By the way, meron ba dito gumagamit ng Sun version na may bayad ng OO?
