Howdy, I wanted to add something here - today I read an article about South Korea planning to switch from Windows 7 to (some version of) Linux. Reading over the comments it is clear that people are in more than a few cases referring to features supported in LibreOffice but attributing them to OpenOffice (where they are not). So I put this here because the comment in a previous email, "but in general we try to avoid comparisons with Apache OpenOffice." I think that is a mistake.

Hi Italo, Did you get any news from her? Managing the LibreOfficeFR Twitter account, I have been made aware of this article by users, the same day it has been published.

If you choose LibreOffice, you'll need to pick one language at the start and stick with it." That's right. On Sun, Apr 21, 2019 at 9:50 AM Daniel A.
