HI :) Errr, i'm not sure if this link might help for this but it might help in the future.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile The User Profile is where all the settings and configurations are kept and it's slightly different across the major platforms. Dohhh, i just found a link showing the Mac dock is at the bottom too http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#anatomy Grrrr. At least there is something at the top too so Gnome users (like me) wont be too alienated. I got that link from this page http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/ Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Tom Davies <[email protected]> >To: Mas <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" ><[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, 14 September 2012, 13:06 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I open a file with a .tsv extension as >a .csv file on a Mac OSX (Lion?) using OpenOffice Calc. > > >Hi :) >It's worth getting a book about Macs.
