Hello,
I am considering download and installation of OpenOffice.org 2.3.1
(application). I would be considered a general user and not a code
writer. Would someone please answer these questions for me?
1) From what I can tell of the information on the OOo website this
application suite can co-exist with MS Office. That is, I would not
have to uninstall MS office at some point. Is this correct?
That is correct. I have both Microsoft Office and OpenOffice on my work
computer.
2) Is the suite somehow interwoven with MS Office that would influence
the performance of either one or make uninstalling of either one
difficult?
No. The only thing to watch for, is during the install you'll be asked
which application to make the default for Microsoft Office files. Your
choice and it can easily be changed later.
3) Can I install the application to a hard drive different from the
drive where MS Office and Windows XP is installed?
Yes, you'll have to select Custom Install.
4) Are there any issues with Norton Internet security software or
Norton Utility suite with the application? What has been your
experience so far?
I have not seen any issues.
The Openoffice.org website contains a lot of information but I could
not find answers to these questions that I thought basic.
I look forward to your reply as it will help me to make a decision
whether to download the suite or not.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Glenn Phillips
