Hi, I remember I used to go to this HR (human resources) hiring companies and
they test your computer skills using this MSO emulator where they measure your
words per second, MS Word knowledge etc.
Does anyone know any company that makes this emulators? Is there a way we could
do this for OOo?

Hi all,

They are more open to development as it has the Gnome mentality so is
easier to
get the CVS, easier to submit patches and easier for the patches to get into
the development tree. Then again it's only focus is Linux -- nothing wrong on
that. :)

Diane,
I appologize for any inappropriate comments in my blog!
Although I do not want to censor my blog comments, I probably
have to check how I can do that, in case comments get totally
out of control.
I don't know why your comment was not accepted. I just submitted

Okay. Hold your horses. Let us not forget one of the most major reasons for SUN
open sourcing this project in the first place. To promote competition. If it
wasn't open source, StarOffice would most likely still be free to non-commercal
customers.
I think SUN's biggest concern was communicating

I am an avid user of the Open Office, not only for the fact that it
is simple to use, but because I am not forced into excessive licensing
fees and upgrade costs and items like that. What I have noticed with

The 2.0 OpenOffice package is amazing. From an unclinical survey of office suite
