I agree with fooler. The state of Massachusetts is still going to use MS Office for now because OpenOffice or StarOffice doesn't have that much support for the disabled. They will be using ODF though. If I'm not mistaken, they're starting a roll-out plan for OpenOffice or StarOffice.
i am not surprised. its an ms office clone and thats not much of an improvement except for odf. -- things i hate about my linux pc: 1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
