2007/4/9, Denise Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I am currently in a online class that requires Microsoft word. I have works but they told me that it would not work. If I used open office would they know I was not using word? Or are the programs different? Thanks, Denise
Yes, they are different, but not THAT different. I depends… What's the class all about? Why do you need Word? Is Word only used as a tool to write reports and things like that? Then you can probably use Works anyway, if Works can save your documents in Word format (doc). Also OpenOffice.orgwould work, since it also allows you to save documents in Word format. If you need the new Word 2007 xml format (docx, is it?), then neither Works nor OpenOffice.org will do, at least not until there is a filter for that for OpenOffice.org available, and I think there's not at the moment. So, it all depends on what you are supposed to do with Word or exactly why you need it. Johnny Andersson
