I understand your point. I have answered to posts on forums only to find out I took "too much time". The OP had already left and was posting the same question somewhere else :) But it does not mean that we need to change to adapt. OpenOffice is what it is. Not the most modern, not the most "material design" interface, not the one with most features but very likely the most stable and the most reliable Office suite. In my opinion saying that it opens "most" files will not appease the infuriated young users when the next file won't open ;) Just my 2 shillings :) Pedro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
