Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Open Office compatibility?
Vista Business plus Office 2007 sometimes causes problems - particularly with Search/Replace - that MS cannot resolve. A friend uses Open Office on his XP machine for certain functions that create difficulties with MSOffice. Documents apparently move back and forth easily, retaining formatting. Have readers here had success with Open Office on Vista?

But see another post (today) that refers to non English grammar checking. Basically, you don't need to spend good money. regards > Vista Business plus Office 2007 sometimes causes problems - particularly > with Search/Replace - that MS cannot resolve.

Using OO on Vista will void your warranty and cause your cat to develop hideous, fungating, boils. If you don't have a cat, you will be visited by one afflicted even worse. I have even heard of installations where the woman of the house went completely bald! No, not a good move. Instead, avoid conditional hyphens in Word documents. > Documents apparently move back and forth easily, retaining formatting. If you need MS Access you'll need MS Office. OO has no compatible DB. -Frank >> Documents apparently move back and forth easily, retaining formatting. > > If you need MS Access you'll need MS Office.
