First, I am no longer subscribed so please cc me on any response. My employer, rightfully concerned about network security, is in the process of blocking and removing "unsupported" software. This action is fully understandable when viewed from a security standpoint. However, individual exceptions will be granted where the exception is either essential to the business activity or is significantly beneficial to the company.
I have been asked to provide a justification to continue my use of Open Office. I am able to cite a number incidents where OOo has saved corrupted MS Word documents, allowed for rapid creation of drawings, royalty free generation of PDFs, and several other examples. What I would like to have some help with is verifiable information concerning the security of OOo (particularly compared to MS Word). Bill Leach RWMC Publications COBRA ACE 533-0121 Pager 4165
