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.
