I had thought about making my exchange-rate spreadsheet into a database. I'm sure it would be far better, and would allow a purpose-built UI front-end but the spreadsheet route is plenty good enough for this trip. The main thing is having the functionality off-line, and from recommendations from people i trust so i am really glad to have had good responses so quickly from so many people here so quickly. I'm going to look-up some 3rd party articles too but i don't trust them as much as i trust everyone here. Many thanks and regards from Tom :) On 14 September 2015 at 15:22, Alexander Thurgood <alex.thurg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Le 14/09/2015 14:41, Tom Davies a écrit : > > Hi Tom, > > > > > Has anyone here used the AndrOffice or the LibreOffice version on > Android? > > > > AndrOpenffice is a huge download, but is usable offline.
