Word of the Day
OpenOffice: that's all you need to know. Oh yea---and that it's free.
I've been working with it for about 3 months now and it has completely unshackled my chains from the oppression of having to having to shell out $499.95 for a pretty package that will bloat my hard drive and provide me new functions that I won't use 95% of the time.
I haven't run across a Microsoft Office document (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) that this rebellious software can't open or save back into MS format. Oh yea--and it's free.

I've been using openoffice for nearly a year now. And I haven't really found anything that I need that it can't do.
And it'd free.
My sediments, exactly.
Marry me?

One thing openOffice can't do. Presenter View (it allows you to go through a powerpoint presentation non-linear-ly)
And it's free. (with office 2007)
Sorry, I switched to '07.
But it's free (I got it from work)
I have used Open Office since it came out ages ago, as for Presenter view ... don't really care I hate power point and I cant stand sitting through slide shows that are poorly made anyways. I make nice little note books and hand them out like in the old days and give real information that ppl can follow along with physically. I give out burned CDs of Open Office out to ppl all the time and I even got work to switch and they Love it.
I bought a student copy of office 2k in about 99. It still works. I use maybe 20% of it and it does everything I need. Why does everyone think you must upgrade, anyway?
Seriously thinking of OpenOffice, now...
We have bee installing and customizing Open Office for our clients and customers for over two years now. There is nothig MSO can do that Open Office with varios extensions cannot.
