James: 1) Being a newbie to OpenOffice, I didn't consider that as an option. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know they played well together. 2) I'm tired of MS and all the hoops, endless holes and updates. I want an OS and apps that work that are NOT Mac (don't ask).
OpenOffice is the first step for me. Once I get comfortable with it, I want to switch our network over to Linux and abandon MS forever, but I don't know enough yet. I don't have a Unix background. I went from CP/M directly to Windows, never detoured into Unix. (Yeah, that was a "few" years ago <g>.) I haven't done any programming since 1972 (Basic and extended Basic back then.) Getting our Intuit apps (bookkeeping/accounting software) to run on Linux is going to be a problem, since they do not have a version for Linux and have no intention of putting one on the market. Once I get OpenOffice up and running, finding a comparable app to replace Intuit is my next task. Wish me luck <g>.
