Hi :) Were you using a word-processor before trying LibreOffice?  Any office suite at all?  There are quite a few that are all based on the same code.  LibreOffice has recombined with at least one.  OpenOffice is hopefully going to recombine with another.  Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 8/3/

3.5.0 is not "business ready". 3.4.5 is. I would wait till 3.5.x goes to 3.5.2 or 3.5.3. Then that line will be ready to be used by a business environment. As a personal user, with many clients that I keep updated with LO, I have not installed 3.5.0 on my system yet, or anyone else's one.

Hi :) We do need to encourage people to test-drive the 3.5.1 and to post bug-reports when they find problems.  If no-one tries it then bugs wont be found, right?  Well, not as many as would be found if it's widely tested out there in the wild. Actually i am increasingly optimistic about the 3.5.

I do not know if the Windows versions of LO still hang up till you install a Java Runtime, but it use to. I just automatically install the runtime now for a new system. It may have changed, but I do not know if it has. The developers are working hard to remove the need for Java with LO.
