| 819458 | 2009-10-12 00:34:00 | Have been using it for ages and am very pleased with it. Only reason I still keep an old version of Microsoft Office is for copying/pasting text from internet pages into a text document. Microsoft Office does it perfectly and OpenOffice has difficulties with this, especially with the layout. |

| 819460 | 2009-10-12 02:45:00 | Also if I'm allowed to b***H as you suggest, to have an option on install that file types default to Office XP/2003 would be just fantastic - the first thing I do after install is change default file types. Actually - very good point. I change this every time, first thing after install. A tick box during install (along with the create a desktop icon or some such place) would be absolutely ideal. I'd send you a 15 box if you implemented that!! :punk |

| 819461 | 2009-10-12 03:57:00 | Yes an email client with Outlook features (calender, tasks etc) would see me running it as my default and ditching MS office completely, we run a mixture of OO and MS 03 and 07 | gary67 (56) | ||

| 819464 | 2009-10-12 05:03:00 | Whilst I don't use it myself as I have MS Office, I have installed OpenOffice on quite a number of computers and the main thing I don't like about it is the time it takes to load. I also don't like it putting itself in Startup to speed up the loading time, just as I don't like MS Office doing that either. Like others have said, having the file types default to Office docs would be a good move. |

Microsoft Office does it perfectly and OpenOffice has difficulties with this, especially with the layout. I use "Paste special > paste as formatted text" (ctrl+shift+v)which has the advantage of getting shot of all the garbage in behind. This leaves the pictures out however. |
