What Office Suite Do You Use?

[BWF89]

We had a poll to see which OS you used, so why not one for what office suite you use?

I use OpenOffice 2.0.

MS Office, we use it at work and I generally dont do much stuff at home.

 

[Digitalrat]

I use OpenOffice 2.0, would prefer Abiword because of speed for text though (problem is that it can't save as .doc afaik).

 

[Cyclops]

Openoffice must scare the pants of Microsoft. Although I do think this poll is twisted.

 

[iignotus]

I use the KOffice suite. I wish I could use MS Office though, as it's overall a lot better.

Why is that?

 

[Goity]

Ability Office smells.

I have WordPerfect Office but I don't use it since I got a copy of Windows Office 2K from my brother's friend's father...(good to have connections )

Why is that?

Judging by the number of people who voted ooffice already. It seems unusually high. Much like the OS poll. I think people who care about open/free software care about the software they use much more. That and the fact Linux is already prevalent on this forum, it makes sence ooffice is much higher statistically than perhaps it is.

sorry to say I use MS office 2003, I've used open office and it is quite nice too, but I tend to stick to the MS line.

I use OpenOffice. I like that KOffice is fairly light all around but it doesn't seem as intuitive and it's support for MS-formats is not so great, so I use O.

I wish GoBe Productive had been GPLed like it was supposed to, though. From the way the BeOS types rave about it, you'd think it was the second coming. I'd be kind of curious to try it out in an updated form.

Open office do's evrything at leastas good as ms office, so its prety much perfeckt, i even know some companys that switched to it.
As long as you arent going to do very specifik things its doing its job damn good.

Fot those that still use msoffice, try openoffice 2.0, and get free from ms
As office is the biggest profit bringer for ms it can seriously harm them, and so help evryone.

I voted Microsoft Works but it's actually Microsoft Works Suit which has Word instead of the normal Works word processor and all of the extra bloat like Encarta, AutoRoute etc etc...

Must agree with vimacs here, M$ must be shaking in their boots.

Use OOo at home, M$ at work. OOo has no problems opening or exporting to Offce formats. Still haven't seen any quirks with it. :rolleyes:

 

[aQwaBlaz3]

Ive downloaded OpenOffice and I couldnt get the hang of it, becuase Ive used MS Office for the last 7+ years...

 

[BWF89]

MS Office and OpenOffice have pretty much the same capibilities. But even if one was drastically superiour to the other it wouldn't make a difference because the average user doesn't use the full potential in either product.

 

[xzen54321]

OOo 2.0 is the sexy!

 

[darkman]

I mainly use OOo. I like TextMaker, but I stick to OOo. I do have MS Office XP loaded on Linux by using the Crossover Office program. But I hardly ever use it. <_<

 

[skysnapper]

At work i have no choice MS office..

...at home i don't even have any office application installed... nearest thing to a word processor I have on my machine is notepad!

 

[gp32rich]

I use OOo at home, even with the lil' quirks it's fine for all I need

I use M$ at work. And I dislike it. It tries very hard to be helpful, so hard that it starts to treat you like a child.

Every option is layed bare and accessible in OOo, you have to dig a bit to find them in M$
Its as if they don't want you to be rooting around down there
