I'm an exasperated Word user, having bought a "loaded" computer online, only to find @ a critical time that it was "Loaded" with trials, one of which was my Office 2003. That trial ended right when I started an 8-week project that needed me to be able to use Office 2003, and not being willing to pay >$200 for a full version from retailers, I'm looking for something that I can use instead. Open Office sounds perfect, but I'm wondering several things. Should I download the 1.1.4 version, or go for the BETA and help with its' development? When I choose the version I want to download, then do I need to uninstall my Office Suite entirely, or what's recommended ? When I create a document in your equivalent of Word, and send it to my boss who is dedicated to Word, will she be able to open and read it easily? As a consultant in the medical world, I'm going to be creating many documents, charts, power point presentations, so need these doc's to interface seamlessly with my boss's software when I share them with her. Does your OpenOffice have a power point equivalent? I'm just learning that and need to be able to create presentations as well. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, because I need to get back into full swing with my word-processing tasks, and hate to spend money on Office 2003 if I can help promote your product and have something superior in the process.
