Re: [libreoffice-users] spreadsheets / timelines ... + queries

       Thank you for your timely response -

           but unfortunately your response is over my head  ;-(

       If I were to upgrade to .5 - [yes, I will be keeping .4 in the
download folder] -
           what do I click on to so do? - all I see are various blocks
mentioning various options with no download button  ???

       BTW - just what is torrent? - I keep hearing that word, yet still
have no inkling as to what it refers  ;-(
