No we just report them and our developers work on the corrections.  
Hopefully those fixes are made in time for the next release of LibreOffice.

The support idea may be like having a person walking you though usage 
and features of LibreOffice or help you install it on a new computer.  
This is the type of support a company's internal tech people do.  They 
do not work on fixing bugs in MS Office, do they?

Actually LO version 3.4 is coming out soon.  This packages has fixed a 
number of issues that users have reported.  Do not ask me what they are, 
since I do not have the memory for such things.

EVERY release of LibreOffice is free.  Reporting bugs is free.  Getting 
support here is free.

Well, with a detailed report on what it is not doing correctly, there 
may either be a "fix" made for the next release, or one could be started.

I remember that I use to have to use an extension for MSO to make 
PowerPoint be stand alone on a CD for use with a system that does not 
have PP.

What do you mean by the "publish feature"?  Make it a PDF document or 
print it in a finished way?  Publish it for a web based use online?  
There are so many ideas of "publishing" I do not know what you mean.  
Sorry, but that is a fact for me and maybe others.
