Dear Brian,
You have initiated broader discussion, so I shall respond. Your "Are you perhaps for some reason prejudiced against OpenOffice?” sounds like an equivalent of my father’s “If you can’t afford a Dodge, dodge a Ford” when he owned a 1928 Dodge (our first family car) and his “If you can’t afford a Ford, dodge a Dodge” when he subsequently owned a 1953 Ford Customline, i.e. it demonstrates the tribalism of belonging or ownership, the same phenomenon seen in football fans, religious bigots (including aggressive atheists), political party faithful, and “my country, right or wrong” nationalists. And Trump supporters. Everything is limited, except God, if he is real, including computer apps, no one app does everything, even one suite does not do everything, it is always a matter of 'horses for courses'. Having said that, I have found no significant limits in OpenOffice and LibreOffice in relation to what they are intended to do, except that I gave up trying to get the Data Base to work years ago (I was spoiled by the old easy to set-up and use AppleWorks DBs), but even choosing between OO and LO is a matter of 'horses for courses’, they are functional equivalents but support slightly different ways of working and have some other minor differences, and if you want to write a book or a play or a collection of poems or short stories or academic treatises, no conventional WP is the best horse for that course, you really need an application like Scrivener, by Literature & Latte, for that. And if you want to write a concerto you need something else again. Pride of ownership really is a bit silly, Brian, each of us needs to find the best ‘horses' to ride to our particular destinations, whether they be a Lambretta scooter, a Hummer 4WD, or an Outback Road Train. Or OO or LO or MS Office, or PageMaker, or Scrivener, or Bible Study, or whatever.
