Re: Open Office
 

I've used it, but I have had a few compatability problems, and sometimes it just looks different even though it loads, so I personally like MS office

The only problem that i have ever had with open office is when i loaded a powerpoint with links to pictures. the pictures never seemed to show up. it may have been a bad connection, or open office just didnt want to load the pictures.

I am using version 1.1.4 I don't know if that is beta or not. I am running windows ME with 192 megs of ram, so that could be the problem too. The error code is OE : 0028 : C0058739 .

Re: Open Office
 

Without a doubt, this is most likely your problem. Windows ME is just aweful. You should consider XP but since you are running free office software, maybe the relatively pricey XP upgrade is not within budget limitations.

I know that ME is terrible I could not try to program at home because of it. But I will not be using this computer after this summer and after that it will be be Mom and Dads email and internet machine so I just try and keep it running.

Check out the latest OpenOffice.Org beta, the interface has gotten a lot smoother, load time got better too. I'd pick openoffice or M$ Office, but I usually just use LATEX for everything.
