I use OpenOffice 3.x and it works like a charm.
Same here, I am extremely happy with this software.
For most home users, OO.org is more than sufficient. After the 3.x releases, it’s actually starting to be somewhat pleasant to use. Once I finished school, I had no need of MS Office on any of my home PCs (it also helps that I also ditched Windows for Ubuntu on 3 out of my 4 PCs).
I use it at home.
But I am stuck with word perfect at work. At least I finally got a co worker to quit using wordpad for his word processor(don’t ask me I have no idea). And I got another to give up works, and another to give up word. I wasn’t able to consolidate everyone on open office. I did get everyone consolidated on word perfect but I had to quit using open office in the bargain.
Things were really screwed up there for awhile. One guy was using floppies, one was using rewritable mini CDs, and one was using flash cards with an adapter. I was using 750mb zip disks. I agreed to give those up and switch to thumbdrives.
