That exception doesn't look like it comes from OpenOffice. That's from the .net runtime. --Jekke -Original Message- From: Alan Frayer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 5:51 PM To: users@openoffice.org Subject: Re: [users] Openoffice 2.0 will not install on my

I used to teach Word for temps, so I'll throw some ideas from there. They should adapt fairly well. Traditionally, I would give the students two documents--one electronic and one paper. The goal would be to make the electronic one match the formatting of the paper one as closely as possible. The

Jean-Jacques-- This list is primarily for English-language discussion among users of OpenOffice.org. My French is pretty rusty, so I'll say this in English first, then *try* to translate into French. OpenOffice.org is completely free--free to use, free to distribute, free to change and

While all of what you say makes logical sense, none of it meshes with my experience. Cost of retraining is one aspect of TCO as is the initial sticker price of the software. I agree that there is a retraining cost involved with upgrading MS-Office, but nothing in the link provided suggests

You get open source programmers and give them a motivation, they might come up with a contact/e-mail application. They have--several, in fact. With a product like Outlook, where everyone has to be using the same tool to get the maximum value, it's just hard to build up the momentum for

... And, the replacement of MS Office's high-end feature set with OOo's high end feature set would be far more expensive than the difference in initial cost is worth. That's my point. The difference for the user between MSO XP or 2003 and MS 2007 is much larger than between MSO XP or

Lars, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Ah, OK, spoken like a true apologist. ;) What's your proposed solution? Patience, perseverence, and a 20% across-the-board reduction in the size of developer egos in the OSS world. The fact is that we do build a lot of products

In the same spirit, I hope you won't take offense as I dissect your arguments. To answer your question, I'm not a manager or an executive. I'm a developer in a small (150 people in 5 cities) firm and a consultant to a slightly larger firm who gets called on to make assessments of tool purchases on
