Feature sets don't matter if you don't understand how they're supposed to be structured. And there is no more "Edit menu" -- they got rid of that when they switched to the tab/ribbon structure.<br /><br />Which are all only more reasons why I only use Word at work, and OpenOffice/LibreOffice at home.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-74374547146887061042012-05-12T15:31:50.639-04:002012-05-12T15:31:50.639-04:00I've been using Open Office for a long time no...I've been using Open Office for a long time now, but I can remember Clippy and his advice, (Which I almost always was in need of.)Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-76754727189142850982012-05-12T12:42:52.037-04:002012-05-12T12:42:52.037-04:00LOL.
