| 189058 | 2003-11-04 05:21:00 | ok i have been backtracking to no avail, and was looking for a program people recomended to me and i think it was open office, which is now on the Nov cd of PC wrold mag, and was wondering what people thought of this prog and if anyone can actually remember if it was this one i was recomended or not.... as i have gone through a large amount of my posts and threads but cannot find the relevant one, so what im saying is who use's this and will i be able to use this easy enough? looks a bit over the top to me at moment. and can i get the destruction manual...:p that i need to go with it..... :D beetle |

| 189059 | 2003-11-04 05:24:00 | It was Microsoft Office that was recommended to you, but Open Office will do. Start reading the manuals (aka Help Files, aka F1)....... :p :D |

| 189061 | 2003-11-04 05:55:00 | Open Office can do everything you need unless you're a huge corporate. File compatibility is not an issue - it can open and save as any MS Office format. File sizes tend to be smaller than MS Office's, too. I'm a writer and editor and have been using it for a year or so with no problems, in both Linux and Windows versions. It's at least worth a try. | stratters (2587) | ||

| 189063 | 2003-11-04 06:17:00 | OpenOffice is easy to use, just check out the help files if you are stuck. Also remember to save your files in the .doc format (or .rtf format) so that you don't have compatibility problems with MS users. I think it is a great Office Suite :) |

| 189064 | 2003-11-04 06:40:00 | > whats the difference then? Well, F1 is a key on your keyboard to open up the help files for a program. Press F1 is a fantastic free helpdesk-type forum whose members tolerate all sorts of strange questions, PC and otherwise. :p :D > i live here so the files will be nice and handy on pf1... But how are you going to upload them onto the forum? :-) [pre]Something tells me I am going to need to install Open Office on my PC.... <sigh > :D |

| 189065 | 2003-11-04 06:53:00 | I was about to install OpenOffice on my computer in the weekend, but something put me off. I think it was the thing about 'closing other applications to install the java thingamajig that enables extra features'... I was far to wrapped up in applications to have the ability to close them. | agent (30) | ||
| 189066 | 2003-11-04 06:59:00 | SB but you loves me just the same and you will always help me no matter how pathetic i am..... :p and thanxs for the instructions on the difference..... i think? and did i say you had to install it? i thought it was the one you have, but i was mistaken (again) ..... :D and if you cant help, every one at pf1 will..... :D right??? ?:| beetle |
