OpenOffice

A new version of OpenOffice is out. It is now up to 2.0.4.

I love OO.o and almost any other open source software. OpenOffice can do almost everything M$Office can do, only for much cheaper (as in OO.o is free). OpenOffice has Writer (Word), Calc (Excel), Base (Access), Draw (?), Impress (PowerPoint), and Math (?).

So far, the only time OpenOffice has let me down was when Jane and I were doing edits. I had to use Word since OpenOffice hasn't mastered the fine art of compatible comment tracking and display. Other than that, I've not had many complaints.

OpenOffice can save and open in many formats (including .pdf) although there will always be some crossover problems, mostly due to the other program not understanding OO.o, rather than the other way around. But either way, the support is great.

Okay, done plugging.
