Hi there, In case nobody has mentioned, your website is incredibly difficult to use. You have to be an expert just to query. After an hour of frustration I finally decided to register and send a question. Now it won't accept my name and password.
If you get OpenOffice.org from its own website (www.openoffice.org) no registration or password is required to use the software, or any of the free support. The formal bug reporting system does seem fairly difficult to use, and does require registration and a password, but you can try here first and see what happens.
My question: In a spreadsheet, I cannot undo. If I accidentally enter information into a cell that already has information, I cannot undo and retrieve the original contents. It is lost forever. I have to exit without saving changes just to open up again to find out what used to be there. Why have an undo button that doesn't work? Makes working with OO very unnerving. Is it because I am using a Mac?
I don't use a Mac, but many here do, and that would be an extremely basic problem that nobody else has reported -- very unlikely. Maybe somebody else on the list could examine your file (or a sanitized version of one) on a Mac and see if there's a specific problem with the way your files are set up.
This is the smallest of the problems experienced. OpenOffice.org makes Microsoft look really good. I prefer Excel any day.
This is a matter of taste, and willingness to pay the initial price and the prices for all the upgrades. But there are a large number of OOo users who would not go back to Microsoft Office even if it were free.
Thank you for your time. Yours truly, Camille
