MS Office or other office program?

What office program do you use? Personally I use OpenOffice.org. I find it much better than MS Office and it's free

 

I use OpenOffice 2.3.1 on both Linux and Windows.

 

I use Microsoft Office, its good and simple.

 

Yes that's another reason I like OpenOffice.org. It's also available for eComStation and OS/2 if one so desires.

 

I use both Open Office and MS Office (because I need to). Open Office is very nice for most users.

 

I forgot to mention that I use MS Office at work because I need to as well. I also "need" to use WordPerfect 12 LOL

 

What are the advantages of Open Office over MS Office? Is it worth getting Open Office if I already have MS Office?

 

I use MS Office.

 

MS Office all the way.

 

OpenOffice at work and at home

 

I really wish they would let me us Org at work but it's not one of the "approved" apps.

 

openoffice of course

 

That's the best phrased answer yet.

 

OpenOffice - Windows, Linux, Mac

Perfect!

but hold on; if you want to run OpenOffice on Mac, try out the actual mac version; NeoOffice!

Chuckun

 

Well, I don't mind Open Office
Still use MS Office sometimes but prefer not to, I like Google Docs[SHILL] because web based ftw!

 

I used Microsoft Office 2003 since I purchased that version when it came out. If you want a free solution, then get Open Office. I do not recommend getting Microsoft Office 2007 since it probably costs a lot. If you want that version, then wait a few months and the price should decrease.

 

MS Office 2007 is definitely expensive. If you feel the need to pay for a word processor suite then you might want to try WordPerfect or GoBe.

Lotus Symphony is going to be released as a free suite too so you might want to look into that one.

 

WordPerfect would be my choice.

 

I have no choice but to use WordPerfect at my work and I complain about it all the time but, I guess, it's really not that bad. Printing in WP can be tricky because it spools it's own stuff but once that's sorted out it's not so bad.

 

I put OpenOffice on both my computers. A very good software, but a huge download if you are on dial up. I am happy with it. Lots of great features, such as a substitute for Excel. I use OpenOffice to make pdfs and more.
Thanks,
