[newbie] Word Compatibility of - Kwork - Abiword - WP - StartOffice - etc

[Rick Commo]

Ok... I'll at least change the subject name before I ask the question or
Mark and Roman will personally fly out here and get me!!

Mark raises an interesting possibility.  The question is *how* compatible.
Does any of the readership have any *real* experience.  I am looking for
both pro and con.  I remember that a while back (6-12 months) there was a
review of StarOffice in one of the Linux mags and the area of so called
compatibility was not what I would have hoped for.

Cheers and Happy New Year to all,
Rick

Abiword or Kwork can open Ms Word files. Or you could just save them in RTF
which can be opened by anything. I my self am at Sixform an my school have a
windows NT network with word 2000 and there is not a drop of windows on my
box anymore.
