I obtained OpenOffice 2.4 for the purpose of interacting with some
Word users. However, I can read their .doc s and can make editorial
corrections and comments with OpenOffice and return the document to
them, but they cannot see my input. I don't know what version of Word
they are using, but it is probably older versions.

I am not totally sure but I think not. The Open Office website is
quite comprehensive, although not always easy to navigate, and you
should be able to check.

Hi Barry
Is this version Intel only?

I am using Open Office 3.0. Although this is a Beta version it
does not need X11 unlike previous versions. I was using Neo
Office but prefer the "feel" of 3.0. It has no problems with
conversions of latest MSOffice formats such as .docx.
It is free and available from www.openoffice.org

Up until this month I have managed communications with the dark

that I could not open and had to pass on to my PC son who opened
and saved them as pdfs.
MS Office 2008 (office version) is retailing for about $200 and I
thought I had better take the plunge. My other Mac son runs MS
Office 2004 but it would seem like going backwards to try and
obtain a copy of such. However, as there have been four years
between updates maybe it is good work horse.
For those using the 2008 version are you finding it stable,
backward compatible to say Office 98 or Word 6, unexpected issues
to watch for?
Your comments valued.
Comments from users of the 2004 version also appreciated.
