Since I started using OpenOffice.org (1.0.3 I think) I switched to LibreOffice when it was first released. Then it destroyed my most important spreadsheet so bad that only Apache OpenOffice was able to recover it, so I switched back to Apache OpenOffice. Unfortunately there was too many bugs that made some of my spreadsheets almost impossible to use, so once again I switched to LibreOffice which has a quite different approach to Apache OpenOffice. Instead of keeping their old bugs forever they introduce new interesting ones with every release. So I would say that neither Apache OpenOffice nor LibreOffice work properly, at least not with spreadsheets. As some kind of reference I can mention that I use Excel at work (I can't even install it at home since there doesn't seem to be a Linux version for some reason), and even if I only used it for like a year now (Excel 2013), I already found quite a lot of quite interesting bugs, forcing me into a lot of workarounds all the time. And I also find the user interface quite unusable. I seem to never being able to figure out where to find stuff, so I often need to search the web for really simple things. On the positive side I can mention the macro recorder which almost works now and then. Sometimes I need to remove some lines to make the macro work when I otherwise get an error message telling be that a command doesn't exist… very funny indeed. A macro recorder that creates commands that doesn't exist – hilarious… Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg > On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 12:01 PM, Matthias Seidel < > matthias.sei...@hamburg.de > > wrote: > > > So does OpenOffice. > > > > > > Am 06.02.2017 um 20:59 schrieb Jim McLaughlin: > > > Libre Office works. > > > > > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 11:19 AM, John Gregson <jfgreg...@shaw.ca> > wrote: > > > > > >> What is the difference between Open Office and Libre office? > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> J.
