Reply #3: so far I like OOo a lot, but have some minor complaints.... [View All]

Of course, I push the file converters pretty hard, with lots of tables, figures, equations, and special characters. I've actually gone BACK to a dual boot machine just to run MS-Word and Powerpoint. Well, XaraX too, but that's another story. I know there are alternatives, and I've used most of them over the last several years, but in the end there are still some applications for which a native Windoze MS-Office suite still works best. For most word-processing tasks, however, OOo integrates seamlessly with MS-Office.

BTW, XaraX has crashed on my Win-XP Pro partition a dozen times tonight. Even big 2D rendering gives MS problems. Giving Micro$oft it's due, however, at least XP drops the app and then recovers.... So far.
