Re: [libreoffice-users] page down in word processors

       ooh, how I dislike that INS key ... I tend to hit that rather than
the DEL key many times;
           then I'll start typing only to find I'm erasing  ;-(

       Whoever decided to place that INS key must not have been thinking;
           doesn't any typist know to click on the space-bar to insert
letters, ...   ;-)

       Oh, right, this is a computer not a 'glorified typewriter'  ;-)
