well, I'm not talking from experience here.... but, my understanding is that open office is the ummmm... i can't think of the word.... it's StarOffice, at least originally, but the code is open to the public to modify and improve. so -- star office is only modifyed and worked on by Sun, but open office is worked on by anyone who wants to get involved.
am i right about that?? i have the files to install the latest open office, but i haven't done it or tried it, simply because i have become attached to applix already and don't feel like having to go thru another conversion. by that i mean that my #1 use for my computer is writing, i am a writer. under windows i used WordPro. when converting to linux finding a word processor was my greatest need. at the time i didn't know about open office. i tried applix, star office 5.2, koffice and abiword. i decided on applix and now all my writing is in that format. if you are still looking for something you should check open office. it may be really good. i think star office is getting better & better, and open office might be even better simply because it is open to anyone to contribute. it's free and you've nothing to loose. adrian
