OLE = Crash + document recovery = blank page. Awesome software LO is. |

At least they're working on it. Aside from ribbons and other changes designed to impede interoperability, MSOffice hasn't changed in years. . . Unless you count MSOffice's new and 'improved' bugs, but I lump them into the latter category noted above. |

fewt wrote:"OLE = Crash + document recovery = blank page." Funny you should mention that. The same thing happened to me yesterday at work with OpenOffice.org, but it hasn't yet had that happen to me on LibreOffice. To be fair, I run OO.o on a Windows machine at the newspaper, LO on my laptop running Linux. |

@lcafiero ... I rolled in LO 3.4 on my Windows box. Do it!! |

Quoting:MSOffice hasn't changed in years. . . I forgot that this was a thread about Microsoft products .. oh wait no it isn't! Quoting:At least they're working on it. It seems they need better quality control. Quoting:I run OO.o on a Windows machine at the newspaper, LO on my laptop running Linux. This is LO on Linux. |

Point that you missed, fewt: It happens on OO.o as well as LO, regardless of OS. |

Quoting:LO folks will appreciate a helping hand from your side. Right, shirk responsibility by assigning it to someone else. I have enough FOSS work, but not contributing to LO doesn't mean I am not allowed to offer a critique. |

> I am not allowed to offer a critique. It was not a critique ... maybe you can try reading your posts again |

Quoting:It was not a critique Ok, thanks for your opinion. |
| DrGeoffrey Sep 09, 2011 5:19 PM EDT |
Don't be so sensitive, fewt. If you are allowed to criticize a program that isn't quite up to speed, I am allowed to note something that it does right. Does LO need improvement? Certainly. But, there are far worse choices, and the developers deserve to hear the good as well as the bad. |

Quoting:Don't be so sensitive, fewt. Uhh, what? Quoting:there are far worse choices Specific to the Linux platform, what choices would those be? Gnumeric and Abiword are pretty comparable (for Documents and Spreadsheets) and work really well. |

Quoting:Awesome software LO is. It is indeed, so much so that I won't use anything else. |

I had an LO revelation today involving editing PDFs with LO Draw. ... now linked on LXer. |

Quoting:Koffice and Siag @jdixon - Now you are just being ridiculous and throwing anything out there just to be "right", siag hasn't even been updated in almost a year and a half. |

Whether you like the answer or not is immaterial. > ///siag hasn't even been updated in almost a year and a half. Software that works the way it's intended to doesn't need to be updated very often. |

Quoting:Software that works the way it's intended to doesn't need to be updated very often. I thought you just implied that it was worse than LO. Either it is or it isn't. |
| Steven_Rosenber Sep 10, 2011 11:04 AM EDT |
Still in the honeymoon phase with LO Draw. I'm going to use this extremely often. |
| jdixon Sep 10, 2011 4:25 PM EDT |
> I thought you just implied that it was worse than LO. Either it is or it isn't. By your implied standards, it is. By the authors' standards, it isn't. |
