[macvoiceover] Re: Tables for free (or compatible spreadsheet software for free?)

I will say that I got a little bit of fuss from OO when installing it,
and it took a few tries before it opened successfully.  Having run
both, I prefer OO.  I can save in way more formats and keep my
formatting, and I like the options to both change columns by "optimal
width" and "width" so I can figure out what's best, rather than Tables
setting width for me.
 I think OO is better.  Just sayin'.
