This reply is going to the list and the OP:
Joel,
That's really not a fair question, you know.
If we say "yes" and if there are problems, you will conclude that we are misrepresenting OOo's capabilities. If we say "no", then you will never try OpenOffice.org to find out.
You don't say if you presently own a copy of Microsoft Office and/or Excel. For the sake of argument, let's say that you don't. Your only cost to test with OOo is the time to download, install, and become a little bit familiar with Calc. As you can always come back to this list (please register first) for help with specific problems, except for buying the program - which is going to make you rich from the stock market and which will cover that cost, - you will be out $0.00 for the experience. Unless you have a deadline to become rich from using that stock program, absolutely no harm can befall you from experimenting with OOo. All you must do is overcome your fear of learning.
I am going to go out on a limb and state that we, as a community, want to see you successfully employ OOo as the interface with your program. You can even start your investing with the money you'll save from not springing for M$O. How much better can a deal be?
Good luck, Doug

I'm buying a program that requires excel. I ask the seller if the openoffice would work with there program.they said if you save your data as a csv file. They said they were not sure this was practical solution for me. The program is a point and figure program for stocks.
Will the openoffice work for me with no problems, as i'm not computer smart. Thanks
