Well worded. In my transition I am exclusively putting on new builds of our workstations and if someone has old doc's that are not opening up in Writer or otherwise I am getting them a copy of Word or otherwise and having them find what didn't translate. Then I am asking them to research in the Help and lists like this what can be done in Open Office to make their doc's correct. It is a learning process for all but we stand to save a lot.

Now as to costs. . . and I am not one of those who believes in the total cost of ownership bull, but you are moving people from one software platform to another, so there might be a little retraining involved. Most of it in my opinion is getting people over their nascent fear of computers spread by media outlets that think of people as either morons or nerds, but you probably should have a good plan for transition if you are moving from one software suite to another. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
