In general I use anything in preference to KDE Office apps, but a recent instruction received from a publisher in doc format was read more accurately in Calligra Word than in Libre Office 4.1.
Specifically italic type was reproduced in oversized sans-serif bold face in Libre but was reproduced in oversized slanted type in Calligra. I misunderstood the publisher's desires until I used Calligra. He wants italics which is what I normally would have used in the particular situation in an index. Also in Libre certain bold face passages were interpreted as larger sans-serif type which caused some text to over print other text. Neither program scored 100% but Calligra came closer. So I will give it a closer look. Doc format is not my favorite choice of course but some customers insist on it. Copies of the original doc file are available on request. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- 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
