There's no need to consider inter-operability. It is years I use open
document format only and convert on requirement. Of course this operation
is considered with care.

I think that is roughly what people are driving at. In the tech

if it could be freed-up from the rest of the code and provided as a

To add my 2-cents to this discussion, I align with Tom and the others
who wait for the x.x.4+ version. In my case, 3.6.7.2 does everything I
need it to do and does it without surprises. Therefore, I am not
pressured to upgrade to the 4.0 or 4.1 version. I, and others it would
seem, are content

I figured that downloading the older version[s] of LO would be easier
than looking for an older Live CD/DVD that has the needed LO supported

days. LO has grown up since its

Hi Cliff,
Are you using fields from a data base, or do you simply want something
like return labels where every label is the same?

Thanks for the link to the templates, but, pardon my ignorance, what is the
proper way to setup a table based template?
The wizard is useful, but, as already discussed, the built-in templates often
don't work well.

Weirder, imo, is that while Redhat and CentOS have 4.0.4 but
Scientific has 3.4.5!
Redhat and CentOS pride themselves on being as stable as possible and
have a reputation for sticking with earlier versions of things until
they have been thoroughly experimented with in Fedora. I thought

Yes, it's 2 factors.
1. LibreOffice is one of the very few packages that is good to get

2. a more recent version, and at the moment that means a much more
stable one because both current branches have just left the "new

It sounds like you are happier with much later releases in a branch.
It makes sense to wait for the x.x.5. For a lot of people the x.x.4
