Readers,
The classic text 'lorem ipsum...' shows how kerning of characters in
writer is poor (compared to LaTeX anyway):
Lorem ipsum dolor sit _amet_, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad
_minim_ _veniam_, quis nostrud
Hi :)
I think LaTeX is far more sophisticated for proper professional printing. My
guess would be that commercial publishing houses convert from Writer or Word
into LaTeX (or something) and then perhaps reapply formatting. Kerning is the
least of the problems when you look at a document

I doubt that. Most professional printing and publishing nowadays

My question is, is LO 4.0 suppose to be the release that supports 120% of
MSO97.
Not yet, it does not support 100% of MS Word 2.0 (from 1992) yet.
Of course it has some bells and whistles and even a couple of useful
features, but still no cigar.

Those people who think LibreOffice should
look like MS Office, why don't they just keep using MS Office instead?
Because they are cheapscates, but they still want a modern text processor,
not something from Windows 3 times. That is their right which everyone
should
Hi :)
On the other hand MS Office still does not support many features of LibreOffice
yet either. Plus a LOT of the functionality of MS Office depends on you buying
the 'right' bundle and then buying extra apps on top of whatever is included in
the bundle. For example the Student's version of

Like custom toolbar backgrounds? I think people can live without those.
For example the Student's version of MSO doesn't include Publisher or
Access.
Why does a student need Publisher?

Since 'liberation serif' is a font that most people outside of the
LO/Linux world would not be using, I think you should look into a more
common font used by publishing houses. I would look into changing the
fonts used and see which one works best for your needs. If you are

Many months ago, there was a notification that MSO2013 changed their XML
formatting from a loose to a strict version of the format. I do not
remember the exact wording but they stated that MSO2010 may not read
MSO2013 files correctly. So that makes 3 releases of MSO on Windows
that are not

Hi guys,
Can someone please test and confirm this bug.
It's real simple to reproduce and was reported 6 weeks ago. Likely
simple to fix too.
Should just take 5 minutes.
Would appreciate it.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57971
Version 3.6.5.2 rc has been changed to Version 3.6.5.2 release per
LibreOffice announcement request.
Changes were made to both FreeDesktop.Org as well as Bug Submission
Assistant.
Best Regards,

The precise situation is as follows:
Office 2007 (SP2 I think) through Office 2013 *all* accept and produce
OOXML Transitional. This is also true of the compatibility pack that
provides OOXML support in Office 2003. These products also have
compatibility modes that will preserve compatibility
