malfunctions

["Hooty N." <ni...@hotmail.com>]

When I am working on a project in outline form (remember school paper outlines?),  your program always
Messes up my documents. It will behave for a few lines or so, and then go wonky. I cannot afford to buy
An office suite such as Microsoft’s Office program.  My old Microsoft Works from 2002 is a computer
Antique now (and stupid auto correct is messing up my writing), and will not work with Windows 10.  I do
Not want Windows 11.  Microsoft Works works just fine up through Windows 8.1 which is my previous computer.
I forgot the name of it, but I tried a different office program, but every time I went to open a document, the
Computer would ask if I wanted to allow it to change my computer. I got fed up with it, and removed it. I think
It started with an L? I really wish someone could FIX the part where it does outlines, or just get rid of it, and let
The user decide how to make outlines for reports and such.  I guess I could not put Microsoft Works 2002 on
Here because silly new computers do not have a disk drive for CDs and DVDs.  I still have my disk for it.  It is
My favorite Word program anyway.

Sincerely,

ps, I really HATE the auto correct thing.

OpenOffice is _NOT_ a Microsoft Office clone and has its own way of doing things.  These are well set out in

Writer for Students (several languages), downloadable from

http://openoffice-uni.org

You would be well advised to read that document.

An old computer will only run older versions of Windows, most of which are now out of support.  It is possible to change the operating system on older computers to a version of linux and run OpenOffice and many other programs (note: in their linux versions).  This computer is 2008/9, doing just that.
