Hi there,
I am about to download the Openoffice software, and was wondering if
it will
automatically remove my existing software, MS office suite XP (I think!)
After I have downloaded Open office do I go into my programs and
delete the
MS programs. Is there an idiots guide to Open Office?
OpenOffice will not remove Microsoft Office. However, when you
install it, it will give you the option of making it the default
application for Microsoft Office files. This is your choice and it
can easily be changed later. There is no reason why you couldn't have
both OpenOffice and Microsoft Office on the same computer. However,
if you want to remove Microsoft Office, you will have to do so yourself.
Idiots Guides and a lot of other documentation, all free, is at
