Hi
I have downloaded Open Office and would be happy to help give feedback
on suggestions. I have been using Microsoft Office for some time and
am trying Open Office on my new computer. I had files saved in
Microsoft Excel that show graphs of the local weather in our area.
When viewed in Excel they have the symbols and artwork like displayed
on my weather page at
http://weather.org.au/tolga/yesterdayandtoday.htm . However, when the
filed are opened in Open Office many of the features are not there. Do
you know if you could possibly add an extension to the software so
that the graphs should appear like they do in Microsoft Excel?
Another thing I noticed is that Open Office does not pick up some
things in the spell check that Microsoft Word does. For example, an
extra space between words and a repeated word. Are you able to make
the spell check to pick up things like this that Microsoft Word detects?
Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
I have 2 comments here, Auto Correct will automatically correct double
spaces, and can be instructed by the user to correct several other
grammer problems as well. These and other errors you mention are not
items that spelling checkers can correct, but require a grammer checker
which OOo does not include. You can however download and install one of
several available grammer checker programs. A couple of years ago there
was a lot of discussion on this subject, and the general conclusion was
that most of us didn't like the grammer checker in Word because it
tended to dictate grammer rules that many of us CHOSE not to follow at
times, and no grammer checker is anywhere near perfect.
