Yeah, I installed it, and though the prefs screen didn't crash anything, I could only navigate the user information screen. Trying to move between the different tab sections of the dialog was virtually imposible. I finally removed it and just said forget it. Back to Pages for me. Oh well, it was worth a try, I reckon.

Subject: Re: OpenOffice: Should I try it?


I have not tried it in over two years. The last time I did, the preferences dialog would crash the program. It also I believe treats every line as if it were paragraph, but I can't remember. Or maybe it's it treats of paragraph as a separate item, making editing doable, but a bit awkward. It's definitely usable, but definitely not my cup of tea.

I've heard mixed opinions on this. How is the accessibility of Open Office, opinions not withstanding. I understand that for some people it's just not their cup of tea, but leaving opinions out, going only on fact, is OpenOffice worth my time in at least getting and experimenting with? I hear that a lot of the dialogs in it are quite nonstandard, and though they're somewhat doable, I hear they're kind of weird until you figure them out and know what you're doing. I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it, and what kind of luck if any you had with it, even if only minimum satisfaction.
