Re: Anything we can do about premature redistribution?

A water-mark on new documents that directs people to find official distributions on the web site? The water-mark will be taken off when AOO is out of beta and an official release is available. At the least this would require those who want to just redistribute know enough programming to make it

Re: saving work

What platform are you working on? Are you working in a document that has been loaded read only? If so your changes will not be saved. If you're on Linux or Mac are you sure you have write permissions on the directory where you are saving your work? On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 9:29 AM, Etta's

Re: Concerns about the AOO community

I've seen quite a number of new people show up here lately indicating interest coming from someplace. If one out of 10 of them sticks and becomes a regular contributor the project is in a very good position I think. My observations regarding LO: 1) They've copied some features from MS Office

Re: interesting white paper from MS shared on the dev-de list

I read it too and was impressed that nobody needs the advantages. I started a new job (where they have excel of course) and got so annoyed by the things excel was doing I installed AOO to get my work done. CD On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 7:08 AM, Απόστολος Συρόπουλος asyropoulos...@hotmail.com

Re: Libre Office Development Compared to OpenOffice Development

In my experience, OpenOffice is still a much superior user experience over Libre. I hope they don't tinker too much and destroy the benefits by copying Excel/Word like Libre has done. But I agree that open source needs to take the innovation prize away from MS. On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 6:20 PM,

Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

Then there is the usability issue LO have been attempting to copy MS Office and have succeeded to the point that in many ways it is as annoying as MS Office. AOO, on the other hand, have maintained usability features that, in my opinion, simply make it a better user experience. They may

Re: future of OpenOffice

Nagy, I'm a simple user so the code base and license are completely irrelevant to me. What IS relevant is the way the software works. So, please, can you tell me half a dozen things that LO can do that OO cannot do? I recently was given a 30,000 row excel sheet to read into a database so that
