Most things related to Basic (the programming language) will work in Excel
too, but as soon as you want to do spreadsheet related things, it won't
work at all, unless you simulate all that UNO stuff by writing your own
objects for them in Excel, but you will need to create a lot of objects… :P

If Apache OpenOffice supported VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), then
you'd have to buy it, just like you buy MS Office.

​I had a user on a UNIX system that would do that and he would wonder why

I've run into similar.  I have a friend who insists she knows how to use
a computer properly, but she's clearly clueless about much of it.   I
also used to do support at IBM Canada and had a "fun" users.  One woman
insisted it was OK to just kill the power to the computer when she left
for the day, but couldn't understand why her computer stopped working. 
The disk was filled with all sorts of improperly saved files.

What's worse is people who should no better, but don't.  I come across
this in the company I work for.  We do networks, VoIP, etc.  It's
unbelievable the nonsense one of the owners comes up with.  A recent one
was he claimed turning off the DHCP server in a modem/router was enough
to put it into bridge mode.  He also seems to think that an Ethernet
card can tell what type of cable (CAT5, 6 etc) is connected to it.  He
seems to think that's what determines what speed the NIC works at,
oblivious to the fact the NICs negotiate best speed & mode.  He also
seems to think some Ethernet switches don't handle VoIP properly.  Well,
switches don't know anything about VoIP or even IP.  They simply pass
Ethernet frames, without regard to content (the exception being VLANs,
on managed switches, with CoS set).  But this guy's one of the owners...

Still though, it wouldn't hurt to include that link in the sigs, so that
when someone complains about OO, we can tell them to read the article.

  A sig wouldn't matter or help. Clearly >95% of the people who use e-mail

  Perfect examples...my 79 year old mother. She thinks she's smarter than most
  anyone on the planet and will literally tell you so. Yet when I tell her how
  to use her e-mail program (the one that comes bundled with SeaMonkey...I've
  got her using Linux for the past 5 years) 'better', she complains that she's
  too old to remember anything like that yet will turn around ten minutes later
  and tell me how I should fix someones setup to a new printer - when I ask her
  how I should do it I get a blank stare and crickets chirping and I nod my head
  and ignore her.

  My best friend who is 47, refuses to learn how to use an e-mail client at all,
  claiming it's too complicated and will instead just do everything through the
  google website client for his account. He too though is the kind who will tell
  you all kinds of things that he'll get PO'd at you for doubting him about
  until you show him proof he's wrong...just don't ever expect an apology from
  either of the two examples I just mentioned.

  It's sad and disheartening. Years ago when it was Microslop 2000 and older
  OS's on most systems, I was the person in my town who made housecalls to fix
  peoples' computers. I can honestly say that in the 3 years I did that, I swear
  by all the gods, that at *least* 75% of the people that I called 'customers'
  should not have owned a computer at all, ever. I had over 300 'customers', so
  do the math.

Perhaps that link, along with a brief message, should be included in the

dictionary extensions

[Andras Kapros]

Dear Sir / Madam,

Could you please provide me with a link where I could find more information 
about OpenOffice dictionary formats?
I'm especially interested in the internal format of oxt files describing 
dictionaries, so:
dictionaries.xcu files and the format of it, and basic guidelines when this 
file exists and when it doesn't and the naming conventions.

I've found the page below, however it is very limited.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries
