Mike,
Since OpenOffice is free for personal AND business use, you're free to
use it. There are a few things to be considered.
- OpenOffice will not run any VBA-macros you may have in your
spreadsheets and/or Word-documents.
- OpenOffice does not contain a program like Outlook.
There are probably more issues, but maybe some of the other volunteers
can add them. If you have more questions ask them and we will try to
answer them.

I'll get to the point. I'm looking for a solution for my company that does not
invovle spending tons of money on Microsoft Office licensing. I was wondering
if it was possible to transfer over to OpenOffice fairly easily.
You see, the business I work for is constantly growing and we're always having to buy new MS Office Licenses... well we were wondering if OpenOffice could be a new solution to that.
Here's our company Specs:
--O/S: Mostly Windows XP, however we have a few Windows 2000 w/ SP4. Also we
have two servers both running Windows SBS 2003
--Computers: Currently about 70, but as I said always growing.
--Uses of MS Office: About 30 of the computers use MS Office all day (Word and excel mainly), a good handful use powerpoint, but all computers do use Office a minimum of once or twice per day for one thing or the other. We also have customers sending us information in MS Office format.
Basically we'd want to be able to remove MS Office from all the computers and load on OpenOffice and then have it do updates. Also we need to be able to continue to access our old files and then (BY DEFAULT), we need to be able to save in MS Office format since many of our customers receive files from us.
Maybe MS Office is our only feasible item, however research could always lead to greater things.
I appreciate any responses received,
--Mike Reeves
