The worst office suite ever

[Robert Tucker]

Well, exported them to .pdf and in the case of the Hebrew lost the .odt.

I just registered especially to this forum
just to tell you HOW MUCH I HATE Open-Office!

I just spent 4 HOURS now, trying to get text in 2 languages (English and Portuguese)
in a table of 3 columns to be on the same height,
and IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE ON THIS WORD PROCESSOR THAT DOESN'T PROCESS!

It sure doesn't handle foreign languages...
(I attached a screenshot).

D-E-B-U-G I-T !

Probably you set the line spacing to 1.5, but didn't do that for the first line in column 2. You should always have Show non-printing characters on when you're editing and formatting text - that way you know what you're doing.

I registered just to say thank you to everybody responsible for OpenOffice.

I love OpenOffice and have now completely replaced MS office with it. It has all of the features I need and then some.

I even added Open Office to my website that lists free stuff you can find on the internet with a rating system. That way everybody has a chance to rate all of the free stuff on a scale from 1 to 10. I rated OpenOffice a 9 out of 10. Here is the link if anybody is interested in rating OpenOffice or any other freebies I have. If you rate something please share your opinion and reason for voting the way you did.

Hello and welcome. The thread title is somewhat misleading. A new version, the first released by the Apache Software Foundation, will be released soon. If you want to be notified, subscribe to the announce mailing list on this page.

EDIT: somehow I mistook the previous post as the first post in the thread.

This is a Open source software and there will be flaws, but developers are trying to fix the bug every time they find it.
