actually, openoffice is not bad - its is very good. main reason it is very good compared to M$Office is coz its free. the other reasons of course can be enumerated by a professional reviewer, but it generally is OK with spreadsheets. I like the calc. however, my experience with Impress is a very bad one! each and every single presentation that i receive that has been made using MSOffice, it gets completely messed up by OpenOffice! either the fonts change, or .. something goes wrong! word documents - same story. i always never get to comment a document with my colleagues using OpenOffice, they complained that i completely mess up my documents. Surprisingly enough, i purchased StarOffice expecting a difference. Ask me how dissapointed i was :-) > I have been enumerating my experiences in the procurement newspaper on > the use of OOo. Please see last week's article on the following link: > > http://www.procnews.com/040816/sfeature.html looks good. i agree with you on Calc. spreadsheets are just spreadsheets, and calc is just as good as excel. > Forgive the poor writing skills :) Just trying to hone my skills as a > columnist. indeed, you might want to consider the presentation of the content to suit a layman :-) its good though. i didnt know that you write! ernest. --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
