Hi :) I tend to use Office either 1. as a generic term covering MS Office, LO, Gnome Office and all the rest (incl ones i don't know) or 2. meaning LO (unless chatting with colleagues)
If i am chatting with colleagues and they use the term it's usually to say that something is broken or weird or doesn't work properly in MSO so i make them clarify which Office they are talking about and if they say the MS one then i grimace and shrug and maybe even vocalise the "Well what do you expect? That is one of the many typical problems with MSO. You have to either put up with it (as everyone else does) or use LO. Don't worry though because no-one else will notice that mangling of your document because they are so familiar with that sort of thing from MSO" Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: James Knott <james.kn...@rogers.com> >To: LibreOffice <users@global.libreoffice.org> >Sent: Tuesday, 20 November 2012, 11:15 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OpenOffice to be dumped in Freiburg ? > >Don Myers wrote: >> I have never purchased a copy of Windows either.
