Re: [libreoffice-users] Word 2003 to Libre Writer - Comparison Chart

I am not the best person to create a final chart/guide/sheet.  Due to 
the 3 strokes, my communication skills were affected so I do not have an 
easy time trying to get the correct/proper wording out - halk the times 
I need to do so.

I will look into what is being done and see what can be done to make one 
for LO.  I will see about an outline of what is to be gathered and some 
basic ideas of what needs to be included.  BUT, I do not want to be the 
guy to do the work all by his lonesome.  I have too many projects in the 
past where I started with a group and ended up doing the work for the 
bosses all by myself.  I may be able to do something I would like to 
see, but I am really eclectic about some things.

Also, it will be a few weeks before I can devote any real time to such a 
project.  I have a lot of things going on that needs to be done 
"yesterday" on my to-do list.  When they are caught up and such, I will 
look into the project.

As I stated, I will look into buying a laminated guide in a week or two 
and see what that company does.  I will be weeks before I get the sheet 
on my hands.  If there are any GOOD freely downloadable guides/sheets 
out there, please forward their URLs to me at my 
"webmaster@libreoffice-na.us" address.  That way I will have those 
emails outside my LO list folders and easily dealt with.
