Yeah, bad troll is truly terrible.

Meanwhile you could work on a feature parity with Microsoft Word 2.0, from 1991.




The think I've learned about features is that it doesn't matter how many a software program has, as long as it has the one that *I* need. LO has the features I need. In some cases MSW does not. For example (and this is truly minor), LO allows me to control widows and orphans separately, which I appreciate since widows aren't nearly the problem that orphans are. Last I checked, Word only had one setting that controlled both. A simple little feature that I like.

I'm sure there are other features that Word has that others need. But, for my needs, LO works just fine.

Oh, and btw, it has the greatest feature of all; guilt free installation on any computer I want.

And, of course, I think I got that backwards. Orphans aren't a problem, Widows can be.

As I understand it, an orphan is the first line of a paragraph alone at the bottom of the page, and a widow is the last line of a paragraph at the top of a page. A widow can be as small as one word, while an orphan will aways extend the entire line length.
