The mention of OpenOffice was extremely tangential. I was simply making a point about there being a "best option" that's hard to attain (but probably worthwhile long-term) and a "next-best option" that's less of a jump for the end user. If you take that original post and switch the name OpenOffice to Libre Office, it will not make a penn'orth of difference to the argument. If I were giving advice in that post, the advice being given was surely "use LaTeX". ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
