Hi
OOo2 beta will open word perfect text files. I have not checked all
details but I only want the text of letters over the last 10 years.
Seems to do that OK Embedded illustrations seem fine, linked from disk
are not - but then the links have been broken as files have been moved.

Hi,
A few comments. Open Office is an impressive undertaking, however, I
am greatly disappointed in its ability to deal with other formats,
(besides Microsoft whatever). I have 20 years of WordPerfect and
Quattro files. I tried all sorts of ways to get Open Office to open
them, but it appears the only way is to first convert them to Word or
Excel files. That is a step that adds a huge overhead to adopting Open
Office, (and one I can not afford, even for "free" software).
Noticed that in Calc the trig functions only use radians for values. If
degrees are the input, the formula needs another function inside it to
convert. Quattro (and Excel, I think) have an option on the function to
use degrees directly. Would strongly recommend adding this option.
You may need to add extra bandwidth to your site.... response is so
slow as to be nearly unuseable.
Thanks for listening.
