| 1201901 | 2011-05-14 03:41:00 | So if MS has ditched supporting Office 2003, what am I suppose to use? Go and buy Office 2010? | QW. (15883) | ||

There also does not appear to be a replacement app for MS Publisher either for some reason. I just downloaded Libre for a look and I will check further into it but at the moment I see no reason to change from my current version of MSOffice. |

MS Publisher only comes with the Professional version. While it is not part of LO Scribus is a reasonably good program for publishing. |

| 1201904 | 2011-05-14 03:57:00 | But there again I do have the Pro version of Office. So, for the moment I see no valid reason to change. |

| 1201905 | 2011-05-14 04:03:00 | LibreOffice has just released a version for portable apps which I gather works within the cloud. Portable apps doesn't mean cloud software - it means software that's intended to be run from a removable disk (USB flash drives etc), without installing on the PC you're running it on, and without leaving any trace behind afterwards. |

I didn't do a thorough research but on one site it mentioned that it would run on the cloud but didn't say a lot more. |

The current codebase isn't really portable to a cloud environment; any cloud-based solution would need to be an almost complete rewrite (unless you're just talking about an RDP cluster or something). |

| 1201910 | 2011-05-14 12:24:00 | Office has had to be allowed to lapse as (in Doggy years) Ralph is now 97 years old and so errors go unchecked. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
