Hi Tim, I couldn't agree more with that last comment. Here is a quick screen capture I did for an example: https://plus.google.com/b/100933269401814278228/100933269401814278228/posts/K157cWoutd5 In the video it starts just as I click on the LibO icon on the desktop. As I say in the post there this is a warm start - then I open the about box just to show the version.
