Maybe the night and day in early September in Northern Alaska. MSO and OOo are very similiar. In fact, many use that very fact to "sell" OOo. Please do not arrogantly insult users with your prograndizing lies. OOo and MSO are both software packages that run on Windows that offer word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation programs. They are both capable of producing files that the other can open. They are both used to do similar things - write reports, create memos, produce posters, make charts, presentations, graphs, spreadsheets, fax cover letters, books, homework, the list goes on and on. Some have suggested that they share a similiar user interface - so much so that some have said it is easier to switch from an older or current version of MSO to OOo than it will be to switch from an older or current version of MSO to the next version of MSO. They are far more similiar than they are different. Yes - OOo is free and MSO is expensive. Yes - OOo is cross-platform and MSO is not (the Mac version of MSO is a program especially writen for Mac - not a port). Yes - OOo is open source, MSO is propriatary and closed. Yes - OOo uses a different Macro language than MSO. None of that means they couldn't share a flaw. And even if it did - that's no reason to insult a user and attempt to make them look less intelligent than you. Please learn some social skills. You are making OOo look bad - again. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ Because everyone loves free software! http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Because, admit it, you've got nothing better to do right now...
