Hello there,

I used to have a Star Writer from 1988 (Version 3.0) and it was just only a text processing program and did not contain any spreadsheat as it was not a calculation program. I believe the full Star Office only came during the 1990s. I can't tell, however, where the spreadsheets from StarOffice originated.

Second, of course AOO Calc can add. I've never encountered any problem with it regarding simple calculations like adding. What I have encountered multiple times, however, in 25 years of working with computers is that some people don't really know how to use some software correctly and blame the resulting errors on the software. Often enough they sincerely believe something is wrong with the software while the actual mistake was their own, using, if we go back to the calc programme, a flawed formula or something. Maybe that was the case here.

Picky.
I have no idea if the StarWriter from 1985 included that functionality,
but it was not uncommon in spreadsheets of that era.
By 1990, it would have been a mandatory feature.
