-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Searching for another Office 3000

Hello to each of you wonderful people that posted thoughts, questions & 
ultimately the remedy of my problem.

First I must apologize for my lack of response after posting my situation. 
In my profession, I sometimes get calls for assistance without much notice & 
often I don't know how long I will be needed.  That's what happened shortly 
after posting my message & today is my first day back to my regular 
routines.  I just didn't want any of you to think I was deliberately 
nonresponsive to all your assistance.

I must confess, I haven't had any interest or time to 'learn another 
program' & it never occurred to me that might be the solution to a problem. 
I installed OpenOffice & all my Word documents & Excel spreadsheets open 
without a problem.  Yes, I will have to slip in the time to learn exactly 
what this program is capable of but a quick assessment leads me to think it 
can do whatever Word & Excel does.

Thank you all for being who you are,
In great appreciation,
Jan

I use OpenOffice.org also. MS Office is installed on the work laptop
and I generally use it for work documents. OpenOffice.org is on my personal 
computers. Sometimes I find some formating problems switching
between OO.o and MS Office, particulary with a few Excel, Access, and 
PowerPoint files. Jan might want to
try OpenOffice.org, found at www.openoffice.org.

I was called to help a neighbor who's Office 2003
was not working after the last update.

it took me a while to convince her, but I put Open
Office on the computer

in 15 min she was able to do anything she was doing
with MS Office and no nag screens or errors.

I love OO
