    open office

    I've been using the MS Word that I transferred from my previous setup, and now, it seems to have stopped functioning.

    So, I'm in the market for something to replace my copy of MS office, because it's no use to me, if I can't use it.

    Is open office any good?

      If word processing is all you need, try Abiword.

        I have been praticing data entry for awhile, and need some form of spreadsheets to work with. Plus I need to be able to open my old spreadsheets and either convert them or be able to see them.

                we had openoffice on a few work pc's, and they would occasionaly have problems with converting word documents. More often there would be problems with excel files. Still generaly it was ok, and free - which is the important bit.

                    anyone know what program I need to open XLS files? I don't want to threadjack, but I think it's one of these office programs. Hey, I never worked in an office environment, I know nothing about office type programs.

                          Yeah I had problems with the spreadsheet program in it, the rest was smooth though, if a little slow to start.

                            If all you need to do is look see and/or print there is teh Microsoft Excel viewer IIRC (free DL).
