Of course LO have got problems when you are saving your heavy formated document/presentation/database/workbook in M$ Office format but that's all really. I'm working with Libre Office more than 1 year now and I had never experienced such things. I'm now trying out SoftMaker if I like it, I'll buy the full version. Granted, "free is a very good price," but not when it leads to massive and regular workflow interruptions. So all of this mess with reinstalling and doing workarounds just makes no sense. If this is the best the linux world can offer-as thousands of people are going to be streaming off of their windowsXP boxes-then we a looking at a massive and lost opportunity to switch folks over to linux.Īnd I'm one of those people-formerly a Mac person, then Windows (including 7), who decided to try Linux because my favorite computer was running WindowsXP. The formatting interface is not at all intuitive.
LibreOffice is really not ready for prime time-it locks up on the simplest documents (and freezes my computer). that is of course the main part of an office suite i use, apart from the spreadsheet package, and as long as it works for my data, I am OK with it and them: components of a suite.))ĪndyPandy wrote:I so agree. Possibly any RTF editor would be sufficient, such as wordpad (windows) or some equivalent.being of the opinion that most users including myself do not need too many special features: in fact all I really need from a text format program is some insert capability, some spell-checking, and a few minor format options (to highlight text) I usually switch whenever a previously or vendor supplied oss package is under new owneraship: an example might be mysql (owned by Oracle) or even Skype now owned by Microsoft.Īt the moment I use libreoffice and for me that is just fine I have no idea, if you find a version that seems to work best for you, that is the package to use (libreoffice or openOffice )
