Good advice from Andy here. If Office 2000 is your primary (or only) reason for
wanting to emulate winblows, give StarOffice a try. I've never (in about two years)
had a problem importing or EXPORTING Word or Excel documents. NONE!! I've opened 55
page Excel budget documents, with complex tables and formulae and voila!! just like
home. I haven't had as good luck with PowerPoint, but it does work for the most part.
Word and Excel have been damn near perfect.
