50852 2002-05-26 08:19:00 My new computer came with Win XP and CorelOffice 2000 preinstalled. I am not familiar with word perfect, having used MS office for some years, would you recommend me to use the star office6.0 on your April cdrom? It must be more up to date. I went to Corel web page for an update 78mgbs and got the impression that it was already outdated.

Thanks
Christine

The beta version will expire soon and StarOffice 6 becomes a commercial product. However you can still get the opensource version (called OpenOffice.org). A good place to get it is www.copyleft.co.nz for $15.00. Guest (0)
