I was getting ready to download OpenOffice for installation on my
home computer, as a way of test driving it prior to installing on my
daughters new computer. Then I thought, are they compatible on the
same system? Would I have to create an OpenOffice partition or
anything like that?
Thank you for your time and attention.

Hi Cliff
Yes, they can live together very happily on the same drive.
A couple of points:
When installing OOo you will be asked if you want it to be the default
program for .doc, .xls etc. files. You may want to leave those boxes
unchecked.
OOo cannot work on the docx format files of MSOffice2007, so you will
need to use one of the earlier formats (XP, 97) if you are wanting to
exchange documents between the programs.
