Cannonfodder Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 You guys are absolutely right, once I saved my ms document as an Office text doc, it saved all the features and in XML. Thanks for the pointers 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Really the choice depends on what I want to do. Simple stuff I tend to Open KWord becuase its faster but as an office replacement I use StarOffice 6.0. I did have the pdf output working before an upgrade but not anymore so Im using Kword for that now. The only thing needs doing better is CUPS/Foomatic integration. IMHO The whole point with Linux is choice after all. On the Missing Applications debate (same Forum) a lot of stuff was said about OO not replacing MS Office completely. For 90% of users who don't use the macro editor more than the normal WP I can't see whats missing. Oh MSJET support. Hmmm. Thats like a waste of effort. I'd like a nice prototype database for Linux (i.e. Nice RAD tools) but the Jet database is just a clux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fubar::chi Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 i don't like koffice because it's more prone to crashing the oo.o. when you're working on a 15 page paper that's not the sort of thing you like to worry about. You might say that it's doesn't happen that often (or maybe at all) for you but once is enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JaseP Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Looks like too little too late. I think that their Windoze CE program might be a hit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
