I have been using it for almost five years now and while the early versions were much more limited than MS Office, it has improved with each version and is now an excellent alternative to MS Office.

I started using it in Windows and now use it in Ubuntu Linux and it works fine in both cases. Memory hog it is not, slow it is not.

BTW, you can set up your own keyboard shortcuts:

1. Select Tools>Customize from the menu


2. Select the Keyboard tab from the box that appears.


3. There will be four windows, the top one of which has a list of existing keyboard shortcuts. Select the shortcut key you wish to allocate


4. The left and centre window of those below have all the commands sorted by Category. Select the command you wish to allocate to a shortcut key


5. Click on the "Modify" button to the write of the keyboard shortcuts box and your command will be allocated to that key
