Re: [libreoffice-users] Document formating

Hi :)
Yes, but people that religiously stick to MS Office and have the most recent upgrade often have 
troubles doing 

File - "Save As ... "

or 

Golden Orb - "Save As ... "

It leads to toooo many choices even if they manage to find it.  I had to send a screenshot once to 
help them find their way.  Also people often feel you are deliberating being difficult = well worth 
avoiding if possible.  

On the other hand some really like it when people show a bit of initiative and love to see 
interesting alternative gizmos.  LO as a portable app could raise an eyebrow.

Tom :)
