Hi :) Italo, Peter or someone else, is there a good guide (that you could give us a link to) on how to get the Gateway Security to let us install LibreOffice?
I managed to install on a MacBook Pro but didn't know how to deal with the Gateway Security issue. So now i can't just double-click on Odt files to open them and LibreOffice doesn't appear in the contet menus but if i open LibreOffice first and then drag the file onto it or use the LibreOffice File - Open menu then i can open the file easily and there are no further problems. Luckily the person rarely uses that machine and rarely uses uses Odt, at the moment but i'm going to need to solve the last little detail in the next few weeks. Oh btw, congrats to Italo on getting soem nice quotes into a ZdNet article! http://www.zdnet.com/like-driving-a-ferrari-at-20mph-why-one-region-ditched-microsoft-office-for-libreoffice-7000025246/ It deals neatly with the (in my opinion and experience) false impression that people have about MS Office having more advanced features than LibreOffice. It goes with the idea that most people use the same 15% of features as each other and that 15% is more than adequately covered by LibreOffice. So upgrading from an old MS Office to LO cost them around £50/machine where an upgrade to MS Office 2010 or 365 or anything else would have been around £250/machine. Err i have used £ because i don't have a Euro key on my keyboard and i've only given very rough figures. It does kinda "get my goat" a bit because i think LO does have advanced features and even makes some of them much easier to access than MS Office (notably Base connecting to external back-end by default rather than Access requiring some hacking). Also the quality of finished documents is much higher with much less faffing around and there is no problem opening documents on other versions of LO. However, if MS Office users feel they can't move away from MSO then this article kinda blows that away ;))) Good work all, and many thanks from Tom :) On 17 January 2014 10:35, Italo Vignoli <[email protected]> wrote: > On 16/01/14 22:45, Sevold Lloyd wrote: >> Has LibreOffice been certified to run under Maverick OSX 10.9.1?
