Yes. We tried OO, and even SO, here at work and eventually gave up. It was *compatible*, but not 'compatible'. Most things worked fine, but many existing doc files didn't format correctly, and printed as hardcopy didn't look right. Word docs that had anything embedded in them didn't work very well at all. We didn't do as much work with Excel. The few tests I tried worked pretty well, except we did come across a couple of spreadsheets with functions embedded that SO didn't know about, which was a problem. Overall, I liked the tools, other than their being pretty slow, and would have liked to have used them. Unfortunately, when you have to be 100% compatible with the outside world they were just not good enough right now. - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
