Re: [libreoffice-users] Open Office and Libre Office Questions...

I've also been wondering how I can go back to OpenOffice, wondering
whether I should uninstall LibreOffice first.
I've had trouble with LibreOffice refusing to print in landscape mode.
 I googled and learned that it's a known issue -- at least a few
people have reported this.  I've tried everything I know (not much) to
fix it, but, although Print Preview looks fine, anything printed
in landscape mode is distorted.  So I'm thinking of getting rid of
Libre Office and re-installing Open Office.  I'm not a sophisticated
user and  not even sure I know how to do this correctly.
