open office
I know your don’t really care but i hate open office.
I just want a simple program that actually works without a million choices and “improvements” every time I turn around. I hate having to to spend hours trying to figure what is wrong with something I have layed out and has worked perfectly well for years. Now it doesn’t work either because the program has been “updated” or it now longer works with my “updated" computer software. And its my problem to sort thru a million problems in what is so ridiculously labled “help”. Very user friendly.

One usually has to be smarter than the keyboard one is typing on to work a
computer and the software that gets installed on it. You get an F for the
semester so far.

We'd care more, if you provide specific issues and points of failure.
OOo/LibO/AOo are used in a plethora of settings, some of which the developers did not ever dream existed, much less be an integral part of a production process.
It is extremely hard to test for an edge case is an arcane setting that has never been heard of before, or even dreamed of.

The simple way is usually right.
Learn to live peacefully with minor problems, including all your software.
If you can not make your work done, please be specific.
We are available.

Jack,
Not sure what your reason was for writing to this list, but your
message below doesn't sound like a request for help with a real problem.
Applications and computers do not "improve" or "update" without
you, the user in command, deciding they need it.
If you're happy with your current versions of AOO, operating
system and computer hardware, you are free to just stick with
what you have and ignore any "Update available" suggestion.
What's the point of blaming others for your own decisions?
Then of course, if you have a specific problem with AOO, which
you cannot solve with the built-in Help system, most people on
this list will be happy to help.
To me, this mailing list is a much better option than any
"online user forums", where one has to dig through millions of
posts hoping to find suitable solutions.
So if you want to make the most of this mailing list, how about
you post one (or more) specific questions that relate to your
specific issues?
Let us know how we can help.
