off-list Re: [libreoffice-users] Moving list items and re-numbering

Hi :)
Don't worry about saying something is wrong or troublesome and then finding the best way 
afterwards.  Just if you do fix your own issues please let the list know so that we don't keep 
trying to help solve an issue that you have already solved yourself.  

If something is not intuitive then it might help other people learn how to use LibreOffice better.  
Sometimes things might be more intuitive to people that haven't grown used to weird ways used by 
competitors, in which case it helps us anticipate questions other people might ask while they are 
migrating too.  

OpenSource has a reputation for rude answers such as "Rtfm" with no useful links or anything.  
However a lot of the gateway projects such as LibreOffice, Ubuntu, Firefox and others tend to be a 
LOT more friendly
Regards from
Tom :)
