   I use it infrequently and reluctantly. Primarily to convert Excel files to
.ods files and reformat them. A couple of operations I could do in OO.o are
apparently not yet implemented in LO.

   BTW, if you want to sort by columns in Calc, you need to uncheck the
'include header rows' option as well as selecting the bottom-most
radiobutton to sort horizontally rather than vertically. Not intuitive, but
necessary.
