====================================
I've never tried Hancom, simply because once I tried StarOffice (started
w/5.0 and have used them all up to my present 6.0), I didn't look any
further. Even 5.x was able to flawlessly open and edit a 55 page Excel
budget document, and then when necessary (for less *enlightened* workers)
convert *back* to Excel format for sharing purposes. Word docs have been
no problem at all and most (though some have been problematic) PowerPoint
presentations have worked also!! I think you'll be impressed. If you have
a dial-up connection, you may wish to *buy* the disc from Sun (only a few
dollars, much lass than the $49 hancom wants), or if you use broadband the
download is absolutely free, though you must register (also totally free).
