Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Android version

The app (WPS) is also designed to be as similar to MS office as possible. WPS stands for Writer, 
Presentation, Spreadsheet.

Going off topic, do NOT try installing the Windows version of WPS on the same Windows computer with 
LO. It does not play well with LO.

Tom,

For what it's worth, KingSoft is a company in China.

Hi :)
Thanks all :)  So it sounds like AndrOffice and Kingsoft are worth trying.

I had thought about making my exchange-rate spreadsheet into a database.
I'm sure it would be far better, and would allow a purpose-built UI
front-end but the spreadsheet route is plenty good enough for this trip.

The main thing is having the functionality off-line, and from
recommendations from people i trust so i am really glad to have had good
responses so quickly from so many people here so quickly.  I'm going to
look-up some 3rd party articles too but i don't trust them as much as i
trust everyone here.
Many thanks and regards from
Tom :)
