I didn't say it makes MSO better. I said it is one of few areas where MSO Word is better than LO Writer. One must remember that there are other areas as well. In some of these, LO Writer is better than MSO Word. In other, they go head-to-head. Apart from Word/Writer, there are also PowerPoint/Impress, Excel/Calc, Visio/Draw and Access/Base. I did not say a single word about any of these and I don't feel like going into details there. > In MSO you suddenly get different languages (EN; Uk/GB suddenly switches > back to US) so spell-checkers are unreliable so they get ignored.

There are some quirks that one must know and remember (in MSO this is mainly printer setting and Default.docm template). If you get to know them, MSO is quite predictable. Of course there are bugs that might happen. I had few times encountered situation where LO Writer has deleted all my changes applied to paragraphs and restored to default template styles. Some strange bug, nothing more. But someone less favorable might say that LO is hopeless piece of turd, as it suddenly changes paragraphs look. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To unsubscribe 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
