My wifey complained about OOo's ability to manipulate text for label 
printing.  Need to check into it.

At home one computer runs OOo and the other has MS Office.  
(Technically, the third computer also runs OOo, but I don't use it.)  
I'm not really interested in getting a newer version of MS Office, even 
if it's free for me.  So, eventually we may use OOo only.  Not that we 
need office programs at home that much.
