What exactly are you trying to do? First, you're writing to the LibreOffice Users list, but you mention Apache. Are you using LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice? And which version? If it's Apache OpenOffice, you need their users list (us...@openoffice.apache.org). Or are you trying to use some

Libre Office Users, I am a new user to Libre Office after many years on Excel. Have an issue that needs your help. The "sum" subtotal works properly, and so does the "average" subtotal. It's the "count" subtotal that does not calculate correctly. After loading 4.0.4 and renaming the user

For me, I do not use the Quickstart option. Their are some hassles with upgrading some extensions if that is "on" all the time. I find that without using that option, I have the package load up and usable for editing quickly enough for my needs. It is faster than many other packages I use.
