I could help you with the openoffice / koffice topic. base sucks as bad as access I think ;-). and koffice is much better than open office in my opinion (except for a few bugs). unless someone can give me a reason why it isn't. <div>On 7/30/06, R Neely <<a href="mailto:veryreb@yahoo.com">veryreb@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I could take a stab at the OpenOffice topic, if y'all are willing to look at it as "open source" rather than "open source running on Linux"  <big grin as she dodges behind her WinXP laptop>. Writer and Calc are the only components I have much experience with; Base would be a hairy topic all by itself, and I've not looked at Math, Draw or Impress (I've never done PowerPoint either, so no knowledge to transfer there). If someone wants to team with me to provide a broader presentation, that would be much appreciated. ~Reb --- Charles Ulrich <<a href="mailto:charles@idealso.com">charles@idealso.com </a>> wrote: > Greetings all.
