I answer only this point: it is frequently the case that Forum moderators and Volunteers are faced with a problem from a user who is panicking about completing a project, and who, by deduction from their post, lacks computer skills. The quickest solution (and easiest for an inexperienced user) may be to direct them to another program, be it LO, or as is often the case, recommend that they revert to MS Office. Volunteers on Forum work, as do those developing, on a pro bono basis (for which all should be grateful); as time is precious to us all, Forum volunteers often take the quickest path to a solution. It is not their role to educate in the workings of a computer or to lead an inexperienced user on a long step by step path to a possible solution.
