I was thinking of downloading this as I can't find my Microsoft office CD (Moved house). LOL

Does it do what it says on the tin? Load / edit / save microsoft Word docs

Cheers

Brilliant. No need for anything else.

Although I have to say that MS OneNote is fantastic.

I have used it for about a year now (daily) i only really use it for spreadsheets and it was a pretty seamless switch for me.

The missus uses it for teaching stuff, i think she uses powerpoints? i can remember her twisting a bit about how it was not "the proper one and rubbish" in the beginning, but i think she eventually adapted to whatever the OpenOffice equivalent is.

It just took me a few months of saying "google it?"

Yup, thats what we use (since I can't get my head around the modern version of office).

Its like the old school version of office, which suits me fine.

Just set the default save option to get it to save files in office xp/2003 format so people who still use office can read your files (the default is openoffice own format).

Only issues I've had is the mail-merges were a little glitchy, I ended up having re-write all of the templates.

It's mainly for schoolwork where they use Office in the classroom and bring homework on a memory stick. Hopefully Open Office will be OK

It beats me how kids with no computers / internet can do homework ..........

Thanks for the replies

It'l be fine. Just make sure the kids save their work in .doc or .docx office format and not the default .odt

(Microsoft office can't read .odt files)
