[Liverpool] How LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word

[Daniel Hartley]

It's interesting you just send this out. I would generally completely 
agree; however half an hour ago a document I've been working on for 
months became corrupted using LibreOffice and I'm now spending the night 
trying to salvage it from elsewhere......

Alas, the tribulations of an unknowledgeable Linux user unable to 
configure a properly working system...

Regards.
