Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to NOT turn (c) into a symbol

Hi :)
I can empathise with Alexander because we almost always give answers
assuming people are using Windows or Linux and things are a little
different on Macs and iThings.

The Published Guides do the same thing but at least they have a tiny
section at the front to explain how to translate the instructions into Mac
= ie what to do instead of "Tools - Options"

Mac and iThings usage is growing and has grown quite significantly already
but it's still quite far from 30-40%, and Mac users are not so dissatisfied
with their own dedicated eco-system that installing LibreOffice is such a
vital necessity for them.  "Pages" ("Author"?) is a nice enough
word-processor to have by default.  Ulysses and Scrivener have great
reputations and are only $45 each against Word's $80.  There are plenty of
fairly good choices at $20ish and even at $5.  There is already a much
fairer market in the Apple world, and LibreOffice does have it's fair(ish)
share within that.  So it's not a surprise that so relatively few
LibreOffice users are using Apple.

I guess that, just as with almost any minority group, it gets a bit
annoying that it rarely gets any mention at all.  Especially for people
such as Alexander who puts in such a huge amount of work for all of us.

Regards from
Tom :)
