Re: OK trying to convince a complete NEWBE for a PC
I use Open Office at home. I use Office as part of being membership officer at a club I belong to. I do all of my documents in Open Office and save them in Word format. There are occasional format differences but unless the docs are very complex there is not any real noticeable problems. At least that is my experience.
On the spreadsheet front, I do the same, save in Excel format. So far I have had only minor problems, again some formating. There are a few compatibility problems with formulas but not in the most commonly used formulas.
I have had very little problem working between Office and Open Office.
Can't say much about presentation or that database side. I do suspect that on the database side it shouldn't be to hard to go back and forth unless some heavy program is involved. I say that as someone who have a lot of experience wworking with various database. This many not be the case with your friend. |
