Amazing Software -Real Value

Have been using it for years. Gets the Job done.


PDF functionality is great.


Cons: Microsoft Office makes minor format changes while reading docs prepared in OpenOffice.

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.

New Zealand School Shows Microsoft the Door

Familiarity undoubtedly ranks among the largest barriers to open source adoption — software, like so many other things, is habit-forming. Much of that familiarity, at least among younger users, comes from the prevalence of proprietary applications in education, an area awash with government regulations, competitive bidding, and its own habit-induced hangups.



A Bushel of Free FOSS Resources

On a regular basis, we at OStatic round up our ongoing collections of open source resources, tutorials, reviews and project tours. These educational toolkits are a big part of the learning mission we try to preserve at the site. We regularly collect the best Firefox extensions, free online books on open source topics, free tools for developers, resources for working with and enjoying online video and audio, Linux tutorials, and much more. In this post, you'll find an updated set of almost 50 collections and resources. Hopefully, you'll find something to learn from here, and the good news is that everything found in this post is free.

Can't get Open Office to work on Mac 10.3.9

I downloaded Open Office 2.4.0 then had to download X11. But everytime I try to open OO it closes again promptly. I am running OSX 10.3.9. Is that the correct version of Open Office? Upgrading to a new version of the operating system isn't the solution I would prefer, btw. unless *absolutely* necessary. Thanks!
