Ease-of-use is sometimes subjective. Do not confuse ease-of-use with
"it's similar to the microsoft product".

Also IMHO if you want a feature MS Office has, you should ask for the
feature because it's needed, not because "LibO should have the same
features MSO has". Instead of using MSO as a reason for the enhancement,
use it to grab some screenshots and descriptions of a way to implement
the feature.
