Re: [libreoffice-users] comparison of LO and m$ bugs

Boy, you got that right - Tom.

Recently I ran across a Drop Cap-related bug in their Word program and via
their support forum discovered that is was a well known problem that was
reported as a bug back in 2003. Apparently MS didn't deem it necessary to
fix. Also, thank goodness I was able to work around it via LO.
