New to OpenOffice

[Christopher Hallsworth <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi all
I joined yesterday and am a new user of OpenOffice. This is thanks to 
its native accessibility support in the latest stable release for 
Windows. I say hats off to you all and keep it up. I like the package a 
lot and it's great now I can join the millions of users in using the 
free and open source productivity suite. Again well done and keep up the 
good work!
P.S. I have no questions at the moment; just wanted to give feedback.

I think the discussion list is a more appropriate place for that, but
personally I don't mind that much.
I use Apache OpenOffice myself for most spreadsheet tasks and I find it
reasonable stable and it does its job in most cases. It's a little slow
when doing certain things and there are some strange bugs, but overall an
acceptable experience.

If you want more features and more bugs than you can count, then you should
try LibreOffice. I used it for some years and I liked the features, but
some of the bugs were very nasty. Maybe those are sorted out now, I don't
know, but I'm sure there are quite a lot of new ones… :P

If you want it to be really slow and if you want to spreadsheet application
to automatically change your cell references in your formulas for you,
without asking first, you should really try Google's spreadsheet
application (Google Drive). Makes life more exciting… I use it every day
anyway. Strange…  :P
