Hi all,
I'm interested in a *short* list with the main functional pro's
and con's of OOo compared to MsO.
I mean items *apart from* open source, integrated program, OpenDocument,
cros platform and related. And also I don't want to focus on details.
Thus: main functionality that makes OOo better, easier to use. Or the
other way round.
What I know of right away, are the style-concept, Navigator,
data-integration in OOo. And on the MsO-side integrated DRM, PIM.
My target is the business market.
And since many potential business-users still have '97 or 2000, I think
it's good to have this information comparing OOo with MsO '97, 2000 and
MsO later.
Any help appreciated very much.
Thanks,
Cor
I don't use MSO so I cannot offer feature comparisons but I will say
that OOo will open MSO files that MSO won't open for some strange
reason. Even files that were just closed on the same desktop. I have
saved someones butt on more than one occasion.
Also from someone that I work with, the graphics support in Writer is
so much better and controllable than in MSO.
Styles works better than in MSO. It doesn't take over your whole
document and you can undo allot better than in MSO.
But the ability of working with Of course there are issues with header
and footer links breaking in OOo. This is supposed to be fixed by 2.0.2.
Hope this is a start.
