To address the original question. I did not get on with the UI of Calligra although it appealed to me on paper. I must admit, I did not give Calligra a lot of use but that is because I found Libre Office worked perfectly well and I have carried on using that. Ultimately you will only know until you try - I have to use MS Office for work and have done for a long time but I have found I can use Libre Office instead, especially as end-user documents are generally turned into PDFs. I have actually found that MS Office 2013 has a lot of issues - Outlook, Excel and Word (probably the other applications too) all freeze at certain times for no apparent reason. My colleagues and even family have encountered the same issues so it's definitely a problem with Office 2013. Anyway, that's partly why I work from home and use Xubuntu to do most of it now. I RDP into my laptop for certain things and actually have less issues using Windows remotely!
Let us know which one you try first.

Re #18.
"where is the spreadsheet ?" : See post #10 : FreeOffice Planmaker.
And follow the links you got ... to :
http://www.freeoffice.com/en/feature...fice-planmaker
"why the registration + key ?" : It's commercial software.
.. Don't worry, they will just email you some info about updates, etc.

Aha. I thought 'PlanMaker' would be something different - like Planner (time tables).
I guess 'Presentations' is equal to PowerPoint.
'TextMaker' is obviously "word"-equal.
Then, how do you get rid of the "side bar"?
Calligra had it too, and I didn't find a way to get rid of it.
Irritating when you have wider tables.
My table lines are like this:
Code:
c c c c 0 1 0 P U 0 W 0 n n n n t t t t x x x x x x x x x x x x STR<c> <Rt>,[<Rn>{,#+/-<imm12>}] STR<c> <Rt>,[<Rn>],#+/-<imm12> STR<c> <Rt>,[<Rn>,#+/-<imm12>]! A1 A8.8.204
Each bit in its own cell, the mnemonics in one cell, the encoding in one cell and a chapter number to a manual where the instruction is described.
[EDIT]
Found it (the small "handle" on its left side).

Does PlanMaker handle .ods documents?
Didn't find that file type in the 'Open' dialog.

Re #24.
Textmaker : .odt : Yes.
Planmaker : .ods : Doesn't seem to be present in the "Save window".
Suggest : Save as .xls (Should open in LibreOffice / OpenOffice ?)

Hm, I also need to be compatible with open document formats too, so I guess I'll go with LibreOffice. I'll keep the FreeOffice too, for now, though. Maybe the next document I need to work with is M$ Office format.
Thanks anyway.
And Calligra is unstable and much slower than OpenOffice. It messes up the whole system.
For me it's OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
