“Impact of MS-Office incompatibility - one more reason Macs are tough for business people and BTW students.....”

the cure for that nonsense is right here...

There is, IMHO, absolutely NO reason, whatsoever, for the continued MS Office extortion game....

Not all Powerpoints open in OO.

Geez, have you guys done any business. People send you powerpoints, If they are your vendors sometimes you can hammer them to cut down on the features and send compatible files. But if they are prospective customers the last thing you want to do is say, ‘dude, before we do business you’ve got to give up MS-Office 2007 and go backwards or stop using this or that feature.”

That said I will try it again. Do you know of ANY thing that can go into an Excel spreadsheet or Powerpoint that OO does not handle perfectly? I have this one client that hires these kids out of college to do models and presentations that find the most obtuse Office feature. Drives me nuts but part of the job?
