Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: This is how I got LibreO installed and working

Andreas,
thanks for the completing info - now I/we know better.
Some years ago I was an Ubuntu-user but when I happened to buy a laptop 
which components didn't cooperate with Linux so I had to skip it.
Now I have planned to install Ubuntu again so your info can be useful.

Thank you also for your good advice concerning subforms (thread 
"Subforms in LibreO"). I looked at it preliminary and seems like I got 
the idea; I shall work on it at the weekend.
