Re: [libreoffice-users] Having trouble installing Libre Office

Hello webmaster,

Thank you for responding, but unfortunately, I am not yet computer literate

been using it for over 2 years, and would not go back to Windows, but I
still have to click here and there to get things done.  I am still at the
Linux for dummies stage.

Thanks.
