W. Chris Shank (chris.shank@acetechgroup.com) had this to say on 02/27/04 at 10:11: > And as far as OpenOffice not handling MS Office formats well. From our > experience that is baloney. There are a few things openoffice doesn't (Note - my experience is about a year old now) I had a Word doc in Word 2000. As documents go, relatively uncomplicated - some numbered bullets; some bullet points with symbols. Opened in OOO, and re-saved, and re-opened in Word (to simulate sharing documents between OOO users and Word users) ... none of the aligment was correct. I had to edit the entire document, re-aligning each point, to the way I wanted it, and the way it used to be, in Word. And resizing a table, with it's columns, and bullet points in table cells. This was a 2 page doc. No way was I going to let OOO loose on something like our HOWTO manuals, with embedded screenshots, letterhead, etc. Much less our 200+ page manuals on how to underwite insurance policies, with bookmarks, index, etc. We are a small company - 75 users. For the folks who only use Word to write a letter, or a fax cover page .. maybe. Hopefully, things have gotten better. YMMV Attachment:
