Re: [libreoffice-marketing] looks like OOo based IBM Symphony wants opinion on how good it is

Yes
Tables in Wiki's are weird.

The problem for me is I do not have any MSO copies to deal with.  I 
already used my one trial of MSO-2010 to do some conversions from 
complex .docx files to the standard .doc files.  I did this last years 
before LO ever came out.  What we need is someone with both LO and MSO 
experience, and software, to fill in the check list comparisons people 
come up with.

I do not use LO or MSO 2003 [when I had it] heavily or with business 
needs and business functions. I do more simple documents over complex 
ones.  I do little with Calc or Impress, and almost no work with Draw.  
So I could not help with that either.  We need people who use each 
module to their limits, or at least with a large number of common functions.

I am not that type of user anymore.
