Hi there!
I would like to know if a Dell PC 9240 XP Home Edition SP2 can save
Word Files to either a Disk on the Dell in Word, or a version of OO I
put on it, or save the files into a version of OO on the MacBook Pro?
I've used it before, and the Sun Star Programs. You definitely get
your bucks worth. Oh, an odd question. I was looking for your correct
site, and noticed a company called ThinkAll dealing with various
programs, including OO. Do you know if they are on the square?
Thanks a lot!

If the machine is running XP it can almost certainly run OpenOffice (OO);
disk space might be the only critical resource. If it can run OO it can save
documents in Word format if you ask it nicely. I don't know if a floppy disk
or CD (I assume that's what you mean) written by Windows can be read on a
MacBook or vice versa. I'd guess a CD can if you tell the CD burning
software the right story. But I'm afraid that's nothing to do with
OpenOffice. The document itself will be OK. If you can mount a MacBook
directory on your Windows machine, or a Windows directory on your MacBook
then there should be no problem. If the worst comes to the worst you can
e-mail the document from one machine to the other.
Companies are allowed to sell OpenOffice software under the licence. Nobody
monitors or controls their activity. Most companies only make a nominal
charge (~ USD10), partly to cover the cost of producing the CD, partly for
P&P. I'd buy from one of those if my internet connection was too slow/poor
to download the software. Other companies "enhance" the software and then
sell their version. Personally I wouldn't bother with any of those but it's
your choice; someone may have come up with an enhancement that you really
like.
