RE: [libreoffice-users] Document formating

Um, Tom, are you comparing with the LO Writer Save As ... list?

And Office 2010 has a portable app.  You can make one even with the Starter 
Edition.  It is called Office Click-To-Run 2010.  Fits on a Flash Drive. 
Takes a while to setup though, and it stays operational as long as the flash 
drive is kept in a USB port.  Probably not as nifty as Portable LO in terms of 
ease of use.  It's useful to know about though.

Screen shots are a great idea.  Many more are needed for all manner of 
scenarios.

PS: The Golden Orb is gone in Office 2010.  There is a File menu item/tab.

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.
