Brave soul!

 I have used Apache OpenOffice but not Libre Office. Found it ok for most of my needs (now I'm retired). Have also used Scribus as a replacement for Publisher (I do like making personalised birthday cards). Really can't justify spending good money on MS Office and my old (2003) version was rejected when I updated to Windows 10. I have not used the database and it is nothing like Access.

Look forward to your feedback.

Wish me luck, for I am bravely giving up my MS Office habit* and relying on the free Libre Office<http://www.libreoffice.org/>.

I'll report my findings.

I'm scared...


*Only on my laptop. Not my desktop workhorse yet.
Despite evidence to the contrary, I'm not that silly.
