What office software are you using?
« on: December 23, 2004, 11:01:29 am »
After our browser poll (courtesy of Stephen) I was curious about other software.  I used AmiPro, Switched to WordPerfect and now use Open Office.

Here is a link to the story that prompted me to ask and a brief quote from the article.

Quote
The Dutch town of Harlem has already migrated over 2000 desktops to OpenOffice.org after the city was faced with an annual bill of about ?500,000 ($669,550) in licensing fees to upgrade from an early version of MS Office. The city found its costs for training and migration to be ?50,000 ($66,955) - roughly 90 per cent lower than its licence costs for an upgrade to Office 2000.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

I still use MS Office 2000, it works well for what I want to do.  I still think that Open Office needs to mature a little more first.

All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being obvious.

I use Office 2000, but mostly 'cause the Air Force had this deal going to buy it cheap, since it's thier standard software, so why not use it at work and at home...does the job..and since I bought Acrobat Pro, I can convert anything from office into a .pdf

Office 2003 here.  Got it under a deal with Microsoft where as I'm a registered user of my works copy I only need to pay postage to get a registered version for home use.  Only cost £17.99!!
