You have sent your e-mail to a public mail list for OpenOffice.org users. There are only volunteers here and there is no OpenOffice.org employees here. OpenOffice.org does not sell the software other people do. you can also obtain the software free through download. Not sure who you paid to purchase OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is a competing product to MS Office. OpenOffice.org has the ability to read, write and save to the MS Office format. It also has its own native format which happens to be the only format that has been approved by OASIS, ISO IEC as an Open Standard format to use as a document storage and sharing format for all present and future text files. Governments around the world are requiring such Open Standard formats for storage and access of public documents. Microsoft, however refuses to use the standard and wants to have their closed proprietary format used instead. Why, so they will continue to control and dominate the multi-billion dollar market that they enjoy now. But on Sept 4, 2007 the Microsoft format was rejected by OASIS, ISO and IEC. Said all that to say, this you don't need Microsoft Office when you have OpenOffice.org. You have the one Office Suite that can be used on all the major operating systems and has the only OASIS, ISO and IEC approved Open Document format. Which Microsoft absolutely refuses to use. If you need to share files with users of Microsoft Office tell them to use OpenOffice.org or download and install the Sun Microsystems ODF plug in for microsoft http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp or figure out how to properly save the files in the Microsoft format. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
