This is so true. I do the Sunday morning lyrics presentation for my church and getting a background image for a particular song required _at least_ seven or eight mouse clicks (as best I recall) when I was using Microsnot Office. This was before I could even navigate to the image I wanted. In Impress, I right-click the slide, choose Slide > Set Background Picture for Slide, and I'm ready to find my picture. Two clicks! Far less wear and tear on the trigger finger and left rodent button!
Also, I once subscribed to a M$-Word list where there were some extremely knowledgeable pros. None of them, however, could ever tell me how to make a TOC that was automatically sorted alphabetically. Probably could have been accomplished with some VBA voo-doo, but nothing simple. Of course, this was back in the days when Office 2000 was new. They may have caught up with OOo in more recent versions, I don't know. When I started with Writer, I just highlighted the chapter or song title I wanted, then chose Insert > Indexes and Tables > Entry. Scroll back up to the TOC, right-click on it and choose Update Index/Table and you're done. So easy, even a caveman like me could do it!
