Method Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 What's your opinion on this software? Should I give it a shot or would I be wasting my time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337G33K Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 you should give it a shot..its fast and free though it may not be as good as ms office 2007 in terms of looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You should really try it, I'm a fulltime linux user and I do all my work with openoffice, It looks more basic than ms office 2007 but i find it more usefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I use it on my EEE 701 :), and it does what it has to do :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyMindless Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Don't use it. It's too expensive. I'd recommend buying ultimate! http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Offic...8&WT.srch=1 --- end of ahole mode --- Dude, you spent more time than a quick try would have taken. You also asked a VERY open source friendly site about an open source project, that's like going to PETA's site and asking about trying a spinach salad.

digip Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Open Office is decent, free, and has lot sof usefull plugins. I especially like the PDF plugin, so you can edit existing PDF files without the need for Acrobat or any adobe software. Plus, no bloat or misc startup crap like with MS Office and Adobe updater. Did I mention its FREE! What do you have to lose? (Don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question, and the answer was NOTHING.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I say you try the whole suit, or at least everything you need. I find it great when I boot Ubuntu (witch is _quite_ often). It pretty much demolishes the "unsupported format" problems and it's FREE so there's really no reason not to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkdelauney Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Just to toss my 'me too' in here. Been a fan of OOo since the early early days. Use it exclusively for word processing and presentation work. Keep it on all my machines at home (Mac and Windows) and carry the portable version on one of my thumb drives for when I'm at places where I can't, or don't want to install it. Like at work. <me_too/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
