I down loaded open office on my home computer. I have not played around with it very much, but it seems pretty good. Awesome when you consider it is free. Do any of you use it? Is there a tutorial for how to use it? If so, where can I find it?

 

nope i use MS office 2007

I use Open Office on my Linux booted laptop. I get MS Office via work for $10 so I use that on my other PC. It does work well

 

F Microsoft , I am home sick and My Xbox360 is junk

 

BETTER GO TO THE DOC

you could have the swine flue!!

 

They did say this week was going to be the peak of the Swine flu .

So they contaminate me , F up my xbox , kill my power last night and now I have to get a new DVR as I have no HBO now after the power lose ..... It is a conspiracy I tell you

The Doc is not going to tell me anything I dont already know When I start turning Blue I will give him a call I get sick every year around this time . I have more of a chance at getting the swine flu at the doctors than work . Few swigs of Gasoline should clear it right up

 

I've used a variant of OpenOffice on the Mac called NeoOffice. It is basically OO with some Mac OS integration and speed improvements. Worked fine for me, most of what I did were based in spreadsheets. I was using it until last year when I received a copy of Microsoft Office 2008 from work for $30. If it were more than that I probably never would have bought it. For the most part there wasn't a huge difference for what I was doing and could pretty much use either.

 

I use OO and MS Office interchangeably at work. I find OO Calc (Excel equivalent) far less stable and its recovery function is useless. I only use it because it preserves foreign language characters better than Excel. Great for free product though.

 

Hey Steve, there is no "e" in flu.
