Re: [PLUG] LibreOffice - Worth the trouble?

Dick, In my brief experience Libre Office has proved visibly quicker and more responsive than OpenOffice.org. I've also read that since splitting from Oracle, interoperability between Libre and MS Office has improved, although I'm not sure if that extends as far back as '97! If you enjoy the old E
