Re: [libreoffice-users] Open Office and Libre Office Questions...
Hi :) It's fine to have OOo installed and to keep using it. I like the use of portable apps to make sure you can always use something like OOo when you are on different machines. Altogether a good choice and for good, valid reasons. There are little wrinkles in the history where Oracle ignored TDF's requests to join in with joint ventures and then Oracle amusingly tried to race against and out-manoeuvre LO but managed to trip over their own shoelaces. Apache are unlikely to take OOo in unpleasant and stupid directions so it's fine to stick with it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Open Office and Libre Office Questions...
Hi :) It wasn't straight-away after! They struggled with it for about a year but found that is was a bit of a mill-stone around their neck so after a year's failed efforts at trying to make it into something people would have to pay for they 'lent it' to Apache who they were fighting in court over some other issues. Apache seem to be doing quite fine with it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Open Office and Libre Office Questions...
I've also been wondering how I can go back to OpenOffice, wondering whether I should uninstall LibreOffice first. I've had trouble with LibreOffice refusing to print in landscape mode. I googled and learned that it's a known issue -- at least a few people have reported this. I've tried everything I know (not much) to fix it, but, although Print Preview looks fine, anything printed in landscape mode is distorted. So I'm thinking of getting rid of Libre Office and re-installing Open Office. I'm not a sophisticated user and not even sure I know how to do this correctly.

People running Libreoffice as a server application, that ran OpenOffice before, are extremely clear in their experience: it's much and much stabler. And the biggest bug from OpenOffice code is being worked on too at LibreOffice: cleaning up the whole thing, make it ready for future. This gives regressions, temporarily. Alas.
