Just to add more perspectives -- I also tried OpenOffice.org and StarOffice a few years ago and at that time they weren't really up to my needs. But in the past few years OpenOffice.org has improved a _bunch_, such that now find myself I using it far more often than Microsoft Office. Last night at a local meeting I also had someone repeat a request for an OpenOffice-to-wiki converter... so perhaps we can look at that. :-) Pm _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
