There are many *MANY* MS Office users groups and forums out there - as well as professional support from Microsoft and third parties. Plus MS Office has a ton more books, websites, and othre forms of documentation out there. I am in no way slamming OpenOffice.org - but Microsoft Office support is at least as good - if not better - than OOo support. In all honesty, to most people, it would be far better, just because its so much easier to find and there's tons more of it. If you are going to put "Support" on the list of pro's and con's - it would go on the pro-MS, con-OOo side. http://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=68 http://www.theofficeexperts.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1 http://www.microsoft.com/Communities/ -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Got an Intel Mac Mini?
