Okay, I have fixed a problem I couldn't find any solution to on the internet, or merely vague directions. I thought I'd document how I fixed the problem for those who may struggle with the same...

I use Libreoffice Writer + Calc for novel writing. Works like a charm. I don't need much, anyway, as I'm a fairly straightforward writer.

Consistency and integration.

Though the selection of applications and programs on Linux is smaller than on Windows, the quality, consistency and integration of your choices is way superior. Ubuntu...

LibreOffice is more or less exactly the same as OpenOffice. Should work for both.

I don't dig this. Thank...
