OpenOffice bug warning!! Bad enough to go over to Microsoft

OpenOffice has put out a good product.

I have sworn by it and have promoted it as an alternative to MS Office.

Now, I am backing away from it. Anything, even MS Office, would be better. It generates macros in tables in Write, its word processor program, especially when you are entering number values. Statements like in <> carrot brackets appear in whatever empty cell you click into.
It is a terrible time-waster. Run far from this as soon as you can, and go to Microsoft or Corel for your office suite options.
The time lost is irreplaceable.
