I don't know if you saw my reply to the question, but in my opinion it 
is not.  And like you, I Iisted why I feel this way.

I don't know which OS you are using, but if you don't wish to use MSO, 
and need something that works better for you than LO currently does, you 
might try the demo versions of Papyrus, a low cost office product 
available for Windows and Mac.  http://rom-logicware.com/  I've not 
tried the product as it exists today, but many years ago I used it on my 
Atari computers and loved it.  At that time it was just a word 
processing program.
