Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Incremental binary packages

Hi :)
There are huge advantages and developments in each release.  The 3.4.4 seemed to be a bit of a 
watershed as it combined the advantages of 2 branches and dealt with security 
issues but even so i am still quite happy to stick with 3.3.2.  

It handles MS Office formats well enough that i am sometimes able to convert from one format to 
another when people using different versions of MS Office have troubles reading each others stuff.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Well, you might find 3.4.4 worth installing.  It does work better with those pesky .docx files, 
than 3.3.2 does.  That is one of the reasons I keep updating.  I have some idiots that insist on 
using .docx files and all their [the idiots] weird graphics on simple 2-3 page documents.  I think 
they must be frustrated artists, or something.

I agree with the feeling of being safer with LO over MSO.  I switched to Ubuntu as my main OS for 
the safety aspect, and the ability to find free software, where it would cost a lot to get the 
stuff on Windows.
