One star because I can’t print

One star because a word processor that cant properly print a simple text document isnt ready for prime time. This office suite should be pulled from the Mac app store until this show-stopping bug is fixed!

PRINTING PROBLEM

The printer defaults to landscape mode for a simple text document — and even then it doesnt print the bottom paragraphs on each page. Disgraceful! And I didnt immediately see a setting for changing the default print orientation to portrait from landscape. But its obviously buggy: even in landscape mode the missing paragraphs should have printed at the top of the next page.

Later I was able to print the same files without any problem using LibreOffice 4.4.7 which I installed from the LibreOffice website.

I have been using LibreOffice (and previously OpenOffice) for more years than I can remember, and tended to stick with versions that met my needs.

But on upgrading my mid-2010 iMac to OS 10.11 El Capitan I resolved to install only software from the Mac app store. Im appalled that Apple has allowed this buggy, slipshod LibreOffice knockoff into the Mac app store!

The fact that its free is irrelevant. Time wasted on buggy free software is still wasted.

SETTING LANGUAGE

On installation of LibreOffice Vanilla the language setting doesnt default to the downloaders location. After wasting some time I eventually discovered how to make Canadian spelling the default. But why -- if you dont want to default to the main language at the users IP address -- not allow the language to be chosen the first time the application is started up.

CANT PASTE INTO SAVE-AS DIALOG BOX

This is a minor point, but for convenience and to avoid typos I often paste the names of new documents into the "Save As" dialog box. This is possible in other versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice that I have used, as it is in most applications that I use.
