I generally like Open Office, once I figure out the differences compared to using Word & Excel. I encountered a peculiar problem with creating & printing the address labels in OO. When I printed the labels, only the Canadian postal codes appeared on the printed label. I posted the problem on the OO forums and found out that v 3.2 has a bug that doesn't recognize mixed text & numbers from a spreadsheet in a data source. The forum tech provided a fix, which once I applied it correctly, worked like a charm.
I'm not familiar with the term "Open Office".
ReplyDeleteOpen Office is an open source office productivity software suite that is comparable to & generally compatible with MS Office. OO includes a word processor (Writer), spreadsheet (Calc), database (Base), presentation software (Impress), and graphics program (Draw). It was originally developed and supported by Sun Microsystems, now Oracle. Open Office is completely free for any purpose.

Thanks. I've tried to interest my wife in online programs but she's against them. Maybe some day. (c;
