Hi :) Sounds good. It's a bit sad that we all have to use MS formats in order to communicate. Of course i disagree with your thoughts about Odf but there is enough room in the world for both opinions. Your thoughts are as valid as anyone elses. Regards from Tom :)

Some things I like about WP: It does quotation marks, both single and double, apostrophies, inch-marks and foot-marks just about perfectly. It can read and write almost any format. It has a quick way to get to all kinds of symbols and foreign characters, quite a bit beyond what you can get with a Compose key or AllChars. I wish Corel would once again sell a Linux version--the original one cannot be loaded onto a modern Linux system. To answer the question: If I am writing to send on the Internet, I use MS .doc format. If I am writing for my own purposes, for example, to write a letter that will go in snail-mail, I usually use the WP format. I never use .odf; I believe that you should use formats that other people besides Linux-users can read. I wish .odf would just go away; there;s no need for it. --doug -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
