The reason I put it all in TNR, was to get the word counts in TNR without being too obvious.

Quote: Starting without a bull, then reduced by 1000, is totally without direction (7)
Solution: AIMLESS
Staring without a bull = artificial insemination => AI
1000 =M
reduced by = less
totally :. all together AI M LESS
without direction: Aimless

I didn't get the ai part and I don't think it's strictly true as there's obviously a bull involved somewhere but well done

That was a rather sneaky clue! I discarded the idea of AIMLESS as I really took this as the removal of the K (or M) charachter...

I agree "without bull" was very tenuous and not anything I've come across in a crossword before ( and I've been doing them a looooong time )

A couple of years ago I downloaded OpenOffice from the PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable, and cloud drives[^] site. I have it installed on another desktop machine that is only available to me via remoting.
I use OpenOffice Writer. It just so happens that the version (3.2.0) I downloaded was extremely good but I didn't exactly know that.
OpenOffice 4.x Chokes & Explodes
Here on my laptop I have a newer version of OpenOffice (4.x or something) and it is the non-portable version. When I open up my 250+ page document with over 200 images in it, it chokes and explodes. I tried it multiple times but it will not load the doc.
LibreOffice : Not So Great - Loads Slow / Scrolls Hardly
The portable version is on another computer so I decided to download the latest LibreOffice 5.1.x and try it out. It doesn't choke or explode but it takes it 1 to 2 minutes to load the document. After it loads I cannot scroll the document at all. I can move it about 2 lines at a time. Ridiculous.
Okay, so I went to the portableapps site and was going to download OpenOffice portable to this computer but it said it was going to take over an hour via sourceforge. What?
My Way: 10 Minutes
So I remoted to the machine I already have it on, zipped up the portable app again. Dropped it to my Google Drive and downloaded it here and unzipped it.
Loads & Scrolls : Amazing
I opened the document with the Portable App OpenOffice v3.2.0 and it opened the document in sub-seconds. And it live-scrolls -- redraws perfectly while scrolling -- over the entire 250+ page doc.

For the LibreOffice issues, see this page[^] for some workarounds.
I use LibreOffice 5.x and I like it as it is very compatible.
For OpenOffice.org, I have no idea what could be causing the issues.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Despite what a lot of people bitch about, MSOffice is great, and if you know where to look, you can find legal licences for as low as $50 for the complete Pro suite.
I tried the free suites several times, I mean I really really gave them a chance, but I came back to MS Office after a couple of weeks every time.

I would be concerned about the integrity of any software of this "class" purchased at such a discount, and concerned about whether the software would have "full legal" status in the eyes of MS so that future upgrades, etc., would be as available as if I purchased the "regular retail" version.
By expressing this "doubt," I do not mean to imply anything negative about you: more "power to you" if you know where to find such bargains.
cheers, Bill

Yes, I was too, so I checked it directly with ... MS. No secret about it : some big companies buy sets of licenses that they do not use fully, and by upgrade to the next version sell the licences they had still in the pool but did not use. 100% legal.

Even if MS Word was $200 US, I would still buy it.
