Like Phil I write a lot, though not for a living unfortunately, so Writer accounts probably for over 90% of my usage, with Calc accounting for most of the rest. Very occasionally I receive a Powerpoint presentation, and I think once I have tried to use Draw for something. Calc is mostly used now for membership lists and accounting in our local Gardening club, and I have been thinking about Base for the membership bit. After reading in Francois' email that he finds it easy to use, I'll probably give it a go. Like Jeff I have LibO on my computer and fire it up to test things, but I have to have OOo installed also until LibO is released, since I don't want to use beta apps for live work. There is as far as I know no quick starter on the Mac, but I have placed OOo in the Mac equivalent of the Startup folder on Windows, so that it opens a default document on boot in the morning, which I immediately close, and then I have OOo "open" so that future documents start up much quicker. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
