Hi, I've only recently heard of your OpenOffice suite - received on a sample CD from a series about 'Your PC at Home' (UK) and I was interested to view and evaluate it to compare with the currently installed MS Office suite (which if I recall correctly is a 1997 version). Before installing however, I would like clarification about any possible issues that may arise from installing your 'OpenOffice 1.1' on the same pc, and if both OpenOffice & MS Office (Word & Excel etc) can be used side-by-side without any problems. Would either of the programs be 'affected' in any way if I upgrade MS office to a later version? Also, if I later decided to remove OpenOffice whether any 'common files' would be affected.
I hope you can understand my concerns and explain any issues in not-too-technical terms (I am quite happy working with pc's and probably understand more about them than I realise but lack confidence at times when reading technical stuff!). Many thanks in anticipation of a helpful reply. M Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
