I'm not familiar with those Excel functions. Maybe someone is working on implementing those features in OO? Hopefully one day schools will standardize around free|open source software where feasible.
The Sun docs for OO are pretty good. Take a look there to see if your needed features are in OO. Another good source is the forums on the OO site. There is a specific forum for OO Calc.

I've used it since it's 1.0 release it's pretty stable. My only quam with it is that I'm in a class here at ULL that requires us to have the excel solver and a few other excel add- in features like the analysis toolpack that I haven't yet found in the OpenOffice spreadsheet software, I'm not saying that it's not there it's just that I haven't found it. not to meantion that the openoffice install when I downloaded it was less than 300 megs. now try to get any M$ product under 300 megs and you'll probably looking at a standalone product not a full suite. later, Jeremy Bertrand email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
