Dear Open Source People…
(apologies to people who have exactly no idea what I am talking about here)
The day I will give OpenOffice [nee StarOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice] a fair evaluation, is the day I can receive a word doc that contains:
- a table of contents
- structured paragraphs (ie containing numbering and indentation via styles)
- paragraph/section border
Make a handful of minor changes, save that document back to Word format, and have it be at least 99% similar to the original’s formatting.
I have been trying this experiment for more than a decade now, and I have yet to see anything that comes close.
So — random zealot who keeps insisting OpenOffice is “just the same” and has apparently never really tried to use it — until that day, no I will not consider using it.
Nor am I holding my breath…
