This could be useful for dialup users.

461783 2006-06-09 02:10:00 It's badly out of date. Version 2 has been out for ages. Plus, version 1 used the old formats, while version 2 has moved to odf. Erayd (23)

If I go down the Linux road one fine day I'll eventually try it out.

461788 2006-06-09 05:50:00 You can download OO for free . I use it, but just have to remember to save my reports and record sheets in Word, as it appears those without OO cannot open my attachments .

Cheers,
Marnie

You don't need a linux OS to run open office. There are windows versions.
