Hi :) I think the default setting avoids taking back-ups as it can be time-consuming and irritating to people on slower machines.  One advantage of LibreOffice/OpenOffice is that it tends to work well on machines that are so slow that MS Office would keep falling over.  To switch it on the ba

Hi, It looks as if I've missed something. In LibreOffice 3.3.x, when I type a single quote before a string, that quote is not displayed. In 3.4 and 3.5 it is displayed. Not when you enter a quote before numbers, thus changing those to a string. Have I missed an announcement or feature change
