It's almost certainly superior to WP51 in every significant way.At least she doesn't have to worry about "Styles." Most people do not need a QuarkXpress or MS Publisher, and that's what LO is trying to be.Just like those expensive commercial programs, anyone who uses LO (or OO) will either have to read and learn a lot of instructions or find adifferent solution. My solution is TextMaker from SoftMaker, which has a free version for non-commercial use, and which seems to have justabout all the features of the paid version.

Funny but I never had to learn about styles. However they are handier than applying individual attributes to common elements. And while LibreOffice is quite powerful, it's not Scribus nor Scribus-like by any stretch. It's just a modern, feature-rich word processor. That means allowing people to use styles when they want to or ignoring them when they don't.
