Hi :slight_smile:
Wow! At last some people using Calc more than Writer. Interesting to see
neither seem to need or use Base at all. It kinda makes sense of the high
quality answers we see about Calc though. Other posts in this thread
showing a very low usage of Calc had me worried. I know it's possible to
understand something without using it much but i feel that daily experience
and a lot of usage often helps me learn how to make best use of rare quirks
or good work-arounds for rare oddities = which is one reason i know so
little about Calc.

This mailing-list is a great place to pick-up hints&tips. The marketing
list is trying to deliver daily tips by twitter and anyone who can write a
really short hint or tip would really be helping the wider community quite
a lot. Quite probably you don't even notice using something that noobs
would find hugely useful. "The Calc shuffle" (how to drag a single cell),
for example.

I use Calc almost exclusively - daily, and intensely, for personal scheduling and task management. Nothing else I've tried has anywhere near the flexibility or utility, by a considerable margin. I'm totally committed to this tool for meeting that need. It just works (usually!).

I was simply concerned to grab an opportunity to educate. One sees these sorts of pseudo-surveys all the time, and people think they actually mean something - which is to say that we can infer something from them. That is completely fallacious.

I'm a relentless educator. That's my problem. There's no fix for it. Maybe if I stopped breathing....but I'm not yet ready to try that!

Hi :slight_smile:
It might be interesting to ask the same question in a few other places,
although some places might need options such as "i don't use office
software often" or using the names of the equivalents in KOffice/Caligra.
I wonder if a proper vote thing could be set-up easily on the Apache
OpenOffice forums and/or the Ask LO forum. It still wouldn't be a proper
indication as people could vote again on each different place. Still it
would give a larger population froma slightly more diverse group(s).

Don't worry about having gone against most of the respondants. It's
important that we kinda take it in turns to push boundaries as it helps us
be a more rounded community. It is good that each person here makes a
difference.
