Suggested options are Evolution, Thunderbird with Lightning or Sunbird; * Microsoft Powerpoint: Impress; * Microsoft Access: OOo Base, dbase clone; Can connect to SQLite, Oracle, MySQl, PostGress, amongst other database engines; * Microsoft Infopath: Not Available; Write (?) http://openmrs.org/wiki/Creating_Forms_in_OpenOffice describes one approach to emulating Infopath with OOo as a component. * Microsoft Visio: OOo Draw; * Microsoft Office Picture Manager; Draw (?) dBase template (?) Base Template (?); * Microsoft Publisher: OOo Write; OOo Draw. For professional quality DTP use Scribus; * Microsoft Onenote: Zotero * Microsoft Communicator; Not available: Suggested options are Pidgin; * Microsoft Interconnector; Not Available: Suggested options are LAMP; * Microsoft Frontpage: OOo HTML Editor, For professional quality web page creation use NVU, or create by hand; * Microsoft Groove: Not available: If this is P2P, then Azuerues. Otherwise it probably would be LAMP; * Microsoft Accounting: Not available: Suggested options are GnuCash, LedgerSMB; * Microsoft Entourage: Not Available. Suggested options are Evolution, Thunderbird with Lightning or Sunbird; * Microsoft Binder; Not available. * Microsoft Schedule Plus; OOo template with this functionality is no longer available.

OOo can read/write most MSO File formats. The most significant MSO file formats which OOo can not read/write are for MSPublisher, and MSBinder; --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
