Hi- Due to Firefox's recent upgrade, I am a recent convert to Libre. I believe I am just an average computer user, using and benefiting from computer programs for some 45 plus tears. Because of my unfamiliarity with Libre, I have lost many, many, many hours of work. Try as I may, for me, Notepad is a disaster. For some unexplained reason, work that is put into notepad, does not completely transfer to Writer. Totally confounding and frustrating, because once work is inputted and notepad is shutdown, it can not be modified. Idiocy. I don't like Notepad, and can not fathom its usefulness. For me, it is a waste of time. With a word processor, I would like to work directly into Writer, able to use other Libre office programs as needed, not get a message that when converting Notepad to writer, some items may be lost due to Notepads shortcomings. What could be simpler than working directly into a word processor? Also, what gives with this poorly implemented Save button, which becomes a Save loop, and, it can not be saved? Surely, someone has duly noted this problem, or is that because of my limited knowledge of Libre? Also, ODT documents written in other office programs are not wholly transferable to Writer. Libre is obviously a superior program, providing one has started with Libre from day one. For my simple mind, its wealth of features and endless links is overwhelming. especially when trying to navigate help issues, resulting in wasting huge amounts of time with no results. I, for one, do not need Notepad; how can I remove Notepad without causing problems to existing features? Your help is urgently requested.
