Hi :) Direct comparison between different commands might not be possible but most of the functions in spreadsheets and so on are identical anyway. Formulas do the same action regardless of whether you write them by hand on a black-board, in a book or in a spreadsheet.
Occasionally Excel does do some non-standard things or calls a formula by a wrong name. The defaults for Calc can be set to follow Excel in those cases so that new spreadsheets follow the same patterns. However, old documents or new documents created in MS Office are correctly read by Calc even though they follow the non-standard formulas. On a wider scale the menu structure is much the same as MS Office 2003 and earlier versions so if people don't know exactly where a certain item is in the menus then they can follow the old trick of clicking on 1 menu, such as the "File" menu and then move the mouse arrow over the other menus until they find what they want. It's much easier than memorising the ribbon-bar. Of course, as Sigrid pointed out, a lot of the keyboard short-cuts are the same and many of them work in almost every program anyway, for example Ctrl c to copy Ctrl x to cut Ctrl v to paste Ctrl z to undo all seem to work in just about every program on any system (except Mac or iThings) Regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libre-Vs-office-tp4064773p4064833.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
