Sun offers a supported version called StarOffice which is just a packaged version of OpenOffice with some extra goodies (fonts, images, etc...) thrown in. They do provide a lot of code, etc...to the OpenOffice project which is, as Philip said, free to download and install. The new 3.0 version is shaping up to be very good. One nice thing about OpenOffice is it can print straight to PDFs without having to buy a full version of Acrobat or even have Reader installed. This is a good thing :) It supports importing and exporting to most Office formats. If you're looking for basic to medium level office software give it a try. It's very similar to MS Word / Excel / Powerpoint. If you're a hardcore Excel user then you may not find everything you're looking for. henrik -- Henrik Hudson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't..." _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
