Re: [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles pane in Writer

The reason I use both programs is that, in some respects each has an 
advantage over the other.

AOO seems to work better with Linux Libertine G fonts, but, LibO properly 
hyphenates my U.S. English language, which AOO doesn't seem to do.

AOO loads faster, but LibO loads my "hierarchical" style pane.

And, neither uses the tabbed interface of Lotus Symphony, yet another fork I 
have installed on my system.

So, I switch between programs, all the while fantasizing that someday, 
someone much smarter than I will combine the best features of all three into 
one program and eliminate all bugs.

I'm not asking too much, am I?

Hi :)
Ahh, that is interesting.  Knowing how to fix AOO problems is not really 
helpful here but knowing that they do have problems, especially ones we 
don't have is good for my morale :D

Fights and squabblings between the 2 projects often create a bad atmosphere 
that only helps MS so generally i think it's better that we just keep 
working together.  On the other hand a bit of friendly rivalry can be fun.

Regards from
Tom :)
