		<description><![CDATA[I jumped into Libre Office soon after Oracle showed its colors, and continued using it until... on an upgrade, they added the heading widget thingy -- which I found extremely annoying,  and removed the page borders.  Among other things, I use it for book  layout:s, and  that was disorientating.  I installed Apache Open Office and have been entirely satisfied. I wish AOO was an installation option:  I set up my parents with a Linux machine (finally!), and wanted the GUI to be as Windows-like as possible.  They had been using OO, so for name recognition purposes, and reliability,  I removed Libre Office from the Mint-Mate installation and installed AOO. So far the only feature that&#039;s been missed is the ability to import old Works files. 

As an aside,  I have found Gnumeric to be more efficient than Excel and both Open Offices. One spreadsheet in particular with thousands of calculations which gave Excel (XP version) indigestion, and slowed OO to a snail&#039;s pace, works flawlessly in Gnumeric -- which also saves it in a fraction of the original size. Although it lacks the formatting candy and macros -- but in just doing basic spreadsheet work, it&#039;s in another league (that&#039;s my experience, anyway).]]></description>
