Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing LibreOffice - problem

Hi Tom,

    However, I read  where the developers of LibreOffice removed 
"garbage code" that was deemed unnecessary.  I  use both OpenOffice.org  
AND LibreOffice.  When reading and modifying Microsoft Power Point 
files  OpenOffice.org  did a considerably better job than LibreOffice 
3.4.5 (for business purposes).  However, I upgraded to LibreOffice 3.5 
and 3.5 does a considerably better job with PPT files than 3.4.5  On the 
other hand, LibreOffice will read in to modify certain pdf files in 
Impress, where OpenOffice.org will not.
