Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Calc crashes

Thanks for putting all doubts to rest.

Shifted from MS Office to Open Office in 2010 & then a friend of mine 
suggested LO said better than OO.

Working on LO now since 2011 - 12. Never faced any problem till date. 
Few petty ones (to do with settings) which I could manage through help & 
minor adjustments.

Thanks.

Waiting for the next launch.

regards
