![]() ![]() When I delve into Linux, I use LO, and it’s good for what it does. I’m sorry to say that this is a major factor keeping me in the MS ecosystem. I recently reevaluated OO and then LO, and found little change. I went back to MS Office, set up my macros again, and tripled my productivity. I’m patient, but not when it comes to attitude. Case changes were not being copied over into other programs via the clipboard (in Windows, anyway), and my attempts to reason that this was a weakness were met with “religious” resistance. It was when I found that changing Case in OOo was a Style property instead of an absolute character change that I gave up. The same held true for the macro language and editor, whereas I can do pretty well in MS’s VBA, especially with the help of its excellent editor. I gave OOo a full year of devotion several years ago, but ultimately found the advanced features, such as wizards for mail merge, etc to be completely unworkable. Since we are right at it: which Office program or programs are you using, and why? Are you using Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or maybe even another Office suite other than the three major ones? LibreOffice is a solid replacement for Microsoft Office, especially if you are working on computer systems running Linux as well as Windows. The latest version of LibreOffice is as usual available for all supported operating systems, Windows, Linux and Mac, and all supported languages.
