My main point is that one must evaluate a switchover to Open Office (or WordPerfect, WordStar or whatever) as any other tool replacement exercise: - consider all costs, including salvage, retraining, etc. - consider value of time and effort saved (will require a careful study of features used and desired) - discount the costs of workarounds and savings - make a go/no-go decision Or, if you don't have a manager who will demand justification, lucky you ;-) In either case, the analysis is going to vary from case to case. BTW, what kind of car do you drive? For all your technical woes, I am sure you can find more competent answers than these: - copy-paste HTML tables - can do with MS - copy paste CSV tables to spreadsheets - can do with MS - multi-language spell checker? Haven't seen that one yet. - PDF writing - download a free PDF writer. Microsoft is not likely to bundle an Acrobrat anytime soon. regards -d
