On Jan 17, 2008, stinga was like: > More sweeping generalisations... Great stuff, stinga. More on FLOSS for females ... This morning I was helping Pat to write a document in OOo. I showed her how to change to B6 (format -> page -> page -> B6) then she typed the stuff and I showed her how to save it (file -> save as) and just to make sure I clicked on open to recover it and guess what I couldn't get it back. I tried everything and all I got was 'Untitled' and a blank page. The file is there in the directory so why can't I open it? I can save and recover my documents but not hers. When g-daughter says 'it's much easier in MS Office' I am inclined to agree. Ok I could export the doc in PDF and save it that way but is this the way to persuade Pat that FLOSS is the way to go?
