OpenOffice.org

[Kim Briggs]

I had problems with Libre Office freezing up my Ubuntu 12.04 system
for over a year.  I don't have a preference for one over the other, or
think one is better than the other, but switching to Open Office
helped me and is painless.

1. Purge Libre Office:

2. Install OpenOffice:

Cheers.
