cage47 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Open Office is doing ok but I read the article on PCLinuxonline and it got me thinking. After all this time we haven't seen much improvement from the old Star Office 5.2. Aside from splittling the programs into individual components there isn't much else. Especially since splitting the programs didn't give us the exceptional performance increase that was anticipated. So has anyone gone back to 5.2? I mean aside from the annoying desktop it worked good. It's been a couple years since I installed it but from what I remember the only tinkering I had to do was setting up the printer. And even that wasn't hard. I've still got my old 5.2 files and was thinking of putting it back in. What y'all think?

polemicz Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Among other things OO has better filters and the export to PDF. Then OO2 promises to be much better, including Wordperfect filters. I never really liked StarOffice 5.2 (used Star Office from 5.1, then went to early OO builds).

fangbite Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I've never had an opportunity to use Star Office but OO fills every need I have in an office suite so why should I change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
