I found this one, anyone tried it?

Haven't ever tried that. There are a few other freeware (although not open source) firewalls available that work quite well.

Oops, that's the comparison between previous versions. There has been some obvious copycatting by OpenOffice - that's a pity for innovation but a benefit for Opensource

No, they are taking options out of StarOffice and adding them to OpenOffice.

Looks like everyone's copying everyone then - tragic state of affairs

[Friend of Bill]

OpenOffice is an excellent example of Open Source Software. My favorite office software and it's free. Also, reads all MS Office files.

thanx snookster

 

[Perris Calderon]

got it...very smoothe

just what does ms office have that this open application does not have?

it's pretty darned neat, that's for sure

one thing that amazes me is that it tries to start with windows just like the ms office does...I'm surprised in an open source app, the default is to not have it start with windows

also, is there anyway to get outlook to recognize the spell checker in this app like it does with the ms word?

thanx in advance
