Re: [libreoffice-users] Two in One Page

Hi :)
Thanks for the flowers (as they say).  People from Windows-land are mostly only familiar with 
phone-support which makes it difficult to copy&paste the answers that are spoken and impossible to 
give screen-shots or attachments.  I guss it's better with smart-phones but then you get into the 
unfamiliar land of text and pictures which is tooo geeky for many Windows users.  Which is odd 
because it's easier.  I guess physically being there is the ultimate support and worth the most 
money.  
Regards from
Tom :)
