1284577 2012-06-29 02:33:00 I am still using Office Home and Student 2007. I downloaded the trial when it first come out and I thought it was okay. At this stage I will wait for the next new version of Office to come out so that I can upgrade to the new version. Main reason is to save pennies. I am using Open Office with Windows 8 on my laptop.

It is about time you moved to Libre Office and then set it to save files in the Office .doc format.

1284579 2012-06-29 04:27:00 Office 2010 Home and Student has Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. As a bonus, Word is able to open OpenOffice documents (and has been able to since 2007 SP1).
MS Office does not properly handle the Open Document standard so I wouldn't rely on it.

1284581 2012-06-29 07:28:00 Download open office document reader from the play store. It should read .ods filres. Home and student 2010 has word, excel, powerpoint, and onenote.

Thanks nick g. I didn't like some of the reviews on the open office doc reader, and some said it won't open ods from drop box.
I can get MS Office Home and Student for a reasonable price, so I think I'll just get that.

1284582 2012-06-29 07:45:00 I like the improvements M$ are making to office and their whole UI in general.

I think they are the forerunners for the modern UI. It's very nice

All the ones that send me docs use MS Office, and I never have any trouble with them in Open Office. Although some docs keep asking me to save in a different format. So, I think I'll just join the crowd and get MS Office, that will be easier for everyone and then I can also post them straight to the website in the format that I need. I still might give Libre a go first though, and see how I get on with it.

1284584 2012-06-29 22:34:00 LL, just change the default doc save format in OO to .doc. This is always advisable so you can send docs to others and have them open them. Just saves problems as you are finding. linw (53)
1284585 2012-06-29 22:47:00 I have Office 2002? 2003? at home.
At work it is exclusively Libre.

Never had any issues with it, it happily opens .docx, doesn't have any formatting issues we've ever noticed.

For most it would be the other way around. Interesting place to work is it?
