Guest Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Not bad is an understatement IMO. For home and even small business use I would put it in front of Microsoft Office\Works as it has 90%+ of the features of MS Office Professional and obviously blows Works out of the water. Just my 2p worth. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/9920-openoffice/#findComment-92509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 do you use the database Lurch? No. Oddly enough, I have a very disorganised and time consuming way of doing things on a PC here, something which I will one day largely automate and save myself hours as I know how to, just waiting for some tuits to come round.

amateurandy Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Sorry i did mean Microsoft Office I haven't tried OpenOffice recently, but last time I looked it had one big failing - no equivalent to Outlook. Is that still the case - I have to admit to being a fan of Outlook (especially the 2003 version) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/9920-openoffice/#findComment-92518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I've heard that before. I remember reading something about it in PC Pro and they said something. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was but it either said that it had an Outlook equivalent or the parts of, or it said it didn't have an Outlook equivalent. HTH!

Paul P Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I haven't tried OpenOffice recently, but last time I looked it had one big failing - no equivalent to Outlook.Is that still the case - I have to admit to being a fan of Outlook (especially the 2003 version) Have you tried time & chaos great little contact manager and diary it is very good, version 5 is now freeware and I find it better than outlook although never tried to synchronise it with anything though. Also it can be run on a network without Microsoft exchange server.
