Hi Tom, Hi :) I thought Zotero was often used as an Extension/Add-on/Plug-in to improve the handling of this sort of thing? The default one included in LibreOffice is more than good enough for me but uni students and others might benefit from adding in a specialist tool such as Zotero Regards

Hi :) My post was a question. I was asking IF Zotero can handle this too or even makes the problem evaporate. Zotero has seemed to help a lot of people in the past who have had lots of different problems with referencing things. My money would be on Brian's answer being the one that fixes the

It might be helpful if you post the actual start/stop times for the 2026 samples. There's more than one way to skin this cat and I'd only look for solutions outside of Calc as a very last resort. -Bill On 9/9/2014 8:22 PM, office76#xt wrote: Thanks for the replies.

Hi :) If you are not happy with Calc and looking for a reason to use something else then maybe try Gnumeric. It is a specialist tool that focusses more on spreadsheeting functionality without having to worry about any other apps as it's a stand-alone tool. It co-operates well with
