Hey Apache,

I was really happy to download Apache and use it as a replacement of Pages 
and/or Word.

It was HORRIBLE. Really, I got mad. I'm sorry but it is not possible that the interface is so difficult to use. I tried for an hour to create templates for the style of my document and nothing worked. When I tried to make modifications in a style, it did not modify the text. When I tried to erase the pre-programmed styles it was not possible (there are 10 "titles" format, seriously who need 10 titles format???? and of course the number 10 is betwenn 1 and 2, very convenient...)

Basic things are impossible to do with your interface i'm sorry.

How can you help ??!

You've written to a list of users of the software, it is not 'ours'. but some of us can help.

I have a couple of templates I use, it's not hard but the trick is to familiarize yourself with the software. have you tried looking at <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide/Creating_editing_template>?

This may clarify matters or anyway get you in place to narrow down your questions.

Complex software is usually confusing on first acquaintance, then it becomes second-nature.
