A WATERSHED MOMENT, OF A VERY SMALL SORT: So I’ve now written an entire law review article, though a short one, using OpenOffice. Over the years I’ve used various word processors for writing columns, etc., but I’ve always stuck with WordPerfect for law review articles because I like its footnoting, and I like that it lets you get under the hood and edit codes. I’ve never cared for Word. Pages is nice, but I thought I’d go free and try OpenOffice for this piece, an essay on the new Second Amendment jurisprudence’s likely penumbras. It worked fine. I felt like it was slow going at first as I got used to things — not so much anything in particular as just it being different — but by the end it was fine.
