1. It takes forver to load.
2. It takes forever to save.
3. It is only somewhat compatible with .doc. Add in excel spreadsheets or charts and *poof* it's fscked up.
4. It almost immediately breaks any .doc file you load by putting in "features that are not supported by .doc". This is similar to 3 - only partly compatible with .doc.

I am not sure if this is at all possible, either, given the mind-boggling array of "features" present in MS Word.Last edited by Urban Ranger; November 14, 2005, 23:43.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

To load the program, yes. To load a document, no.
To do both, yes, IME. YMMV.
Not in my experience.
Whenever I've loaded a file that has some Excel object in it into OpenOffice, it's been messed up. It also doesn't always get formatting right.
OOo doesn't automatically "put in features that are not supported by .doc."
Every time I load a .doc file in it, it complains when I try to save (in .doc format) - even if I haven't made a single change.

And me.
Like Kuci I compulsively save and it's a nightmare! Even OOo 2.0. It's a god awful piece of code and the likes of UR only seem to support it because of some puerile attachment to open source software."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison
