Re: [libreoffice-users] Looking for current LibreOffice Writer tutorials

Hi!  Thanks for the reply!  Your point is well taken and I'll definitely 
see if something like Wordpad could be of use to her. Interestingly, she 
has many MS Works files that Writer can open. So if she finds Wordpad is 
easier to grasp, I can convert those MS Works files into something 
Wordpad can open.

Thanks for the feedback and insight! :)

Peace...

Tom
