In webmaster's situation, I would just use what's available and hope for the best. LO picks up some of the problems you've mentioned, but not all, and you still have to look at each one to see what the problem is. IMO, Word is slightly better than LO, which is better than what OO had when I was using it (before LO beta1 came out). Don't know about others like WordPerfect, etc. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
