OpenOffice.org: Home

Is that compatible with all file types that Word supports? Its just that Uni work needed to be done with word so I could access it on the Uni PC's. I'm quite happy using MS Works otherwise.

Yes, completely comaptible.
I use it for all my work at home and use MS office programs at work and am constantly jumping between the two.

If you have Open Office there really is no need to go back to MS Office.

I would have done that, but being in a different language and all, I didnt know where those menu's were.
Its fine now though, somehow it has changed to english by itself!

lots of systems have started setting themselves to Welsh Welsh GB for me at work instead of English GB, might be weird related thing. Microsoft pushed out a fix to add Welsh and it cocked up

Rebelius · 14th August 2007, 11:23 PM

it's the new Microsoft Office document standard - .docx

that file basically contains a copy and paste of this thread if you can open it.
