Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Message as sent yesterday

Hi :)
@ Ann.  ComputerActive is a magazine about IT.

People in the UK tend to only know 1 language.  For most it's some
variant of English.  For others it might be some other language.  Some
of the ones who only speak English sometimes get all obnoxious and
demand the rest somehow magically understand and speak English even
despite the lack of training places and the exorbitant costs of study.

@ Marianne-x.  Yes we often find that hindsight is fantastic at making
things obvious.  I am sure all of us have found ourselves in a similar
situation of completely misunderstanding something and then somehow
breaking through and suddenly finding it was kinda easy really.
Before making the break-through it's impossible to understand though.
Hopefully we can figure out what is going on and help.

Regards from
Tom :)
