Considering that congregations are generally cash poor, I think OOo is certainly better from a cost perspective. As to features, OOo is very compatible with Microsoft Office files and often is able to open MSO files that MSO cannot. That means your .doc, .ppt and .xls files can be handled in OOo. Have a look at http://www.openoffice.org/product/docs/OOoFlyer11s.pdf under Product Information for a quick overview of OpenOffice.org There is a group http://theopencd.org/ that has a set of Open Source programs for Windows, including OpenOffice.org, that might be useful for supporting your congregation. You can keep all your MS software and should not have any conflicts. My personal preference is to let OOo open all MSO files but you should make that choice for yourself. You might want to have a look at available documenation.openoffice.org. There you will find two user manuals. One as a single document and the second, the OOoAuthors guide in sections. Also the HOW-TOs may help you decide. As to what to download, just select, your language, OS (windows) and your download site. I have found that Cygnus is quite good for me in Toronto but any one will do as they all have the same files. -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.
