Here's a follow up from my Dad after I berated him a little about
giving up too easily but also understanding how he just wants to get
on with work...
Me:
Ah you give up too easily, I am sure you could do what you want to do
but it would be a bit of a learning curve. But I can see why you would
want to just go back to what you're used to, if you don't mind paying
for it.
Dad:
Perhaps I do, but too late. I'm now the proud possessor of a
legitimate copy of Office 2003. Ok, Ok! But it's what I know and I
just want to DO things, not mess about learning a new version. But
I've added the latest service pack and a converter so I can open docx
format. It was only 30 odd pounds anyway
Interestingly IMHO the appearance of both Open Office and Libre Office
is more akin to Office 2003 than anything else!
And, the fact that he's installed the compatibility pack is absolutely
NO guarantee at all that he will be able to open docx documents..... ;-)
