Which components do you use most?

an interesting survey -
           as for me:

Writer - prefer this to any other text program; use to write, ...
Calc - don't use since still do manually :wink:
Impress - use to use for presentations, then would convert to video; now
skip that 1st step
Base - don't use since still do manually - (well, old-fashioned with good,
artistic hand-writing)
Draw - have not gotten the hang of drawing with these machines; they just
don't look as appealing as done by hand :wink:

HI Anne,

Yes a very interesting question:-

Me:-
  Writer and Calc extensively all the time even on my Samsung tablet (running under Ubuntu but that's another story) 33% each
  Draw I use at least once a day. (I like it --- it is a very good easy to use application) 22%
  Impress I use often. (I find it better than MS PowerPoint. Impress has less bugs and is easier to use.) 11%
  Base I use rarely. 1%

I have this idea that when (if) I retire I will dedicate much of my time to helping make base a useable application but at the moment it just does not fulfil any requirements but that does not mean that I think it should be suspended because I do think that it has the prospect of being something excellent but needs much more development and that takes time and developers.

I find that LO does not handle Visio files very well either yet.

This makes Access and Visio the only two MSO applications I still use. (Oh! And outlook which the company I work for insists on everyone using).

I seem to have missed the OP's posting. Jumping in at the middle with my following order of usage:

Writer For text documentation
Calc For budgets and tabular lists
Base For inventories and fixed asset accounting
Draw For figures in documents, PDF form filling
Impress Looking at powerpoint files sent to me

No, y0u had to OP as tacked on to Anne's--by Virgil A.

And just a reminder that anyone can (and maybe should) review partial
threads (in thread context, or as a sequential list) from the Nabble
interface to the LibreOffice Users forum

Hallo,
what is percentage indicating: time or importance? I use the writer among
other reasons because I know i have a calc, a date base, a presentation and
even a drawing program at hand without learning the basics again (where sit
the files an my PC, how are printers linked in,...) i.e. a complete suite

% Time Importance
Writer 95 50 medical reports
Calc 15 15 banking, business statitics,
Impress 3/a 15 lectures
Base 5 15 controlling, taxes, ...
Draw 0 5 signs
