Openoffice Great Product.

This product is a viable alternative to MS Office. I can do everything I need to do in this product and then some. It has a wide network of folks who are developing templates for it. My understanding is it is widely used by a number of European Governments, U.S. States and municipalities and is on the shortlist for the U.S. Federal Government Open-source initiative.

DOES THE JOB

Open Office does just about everything you'd expect from an office suite.

It just works! If you try hard, you may think of a few bells and whistles it's missing, or complain about a lack of "eye candy", but it does just about everything; it does it well, and its free (as in freedom) software. Great!

PDF Option Is Great

The Open Office built in pdf converter is great. MS word to unstable while Open Office is solid. The only thing I really didn't like about Open Office is their html editor. I am a big fan of dreamweaver when it comes to html editors.

Compatibility Issues

My problem with Open Office is the files some of our vendors send over are not compatible. Other then that, Open Office is very solid on its own when a need to work with someone elses files is not required.

Real Alternative To MSOffice

This a alternative to MS Office that I use.

Lot of people complain that it lacks some features. The reality is that with OpenOffice you can do almost everything you need. The 3.0 version is really nice.

Work fast if right packages (for your distributive) are selected.

I have just recently started using Calc. Love it as an alternative to Excel! However, I find it's slow and crashes when working with spreadsheets with more than ~ 2,000 rows at times.
