Re: [libreoffice-users] LO auto save

Thanks for this info Don -- I'll save this message too as I have not yet determined where I will 
take the document for printing. I might try Staples first but may also contact some relatives who 
have published family books which is the intent here. As time goes on I'm sure I'll learn a lot 
more about LO from this list.

I can say it is extremely unlikely that your printer relies on a specific
document format - it should print any type of document you send it.

As for document formats, I would think that ODT is a "better" format, but
you can also save as a regular Microsoft Word document (should you need to),
or export to PDF format.  I self-published my book using LO (years ago) and
exported to PDF to publish it on Lulu.com.

I am 99.99% certain that, while it might take a little bit of adjustment,
you will find switching to LO a super nice adjustment to make.  :-)

Don
