Microsoft Office Beta 2007

[Joe Forster/STA]

Just for the record, I'm also using Windows XP and M$ Office (because our company partners use it, too). However, it's M$ Office '97 and I - as not a boss, just one IT guy - are trying to enforce the use of the RTF format for editable documentation and my bosses are already publishing only-to-print documentations in PDF format (which can be viewed and printed properly on any platform). And, of course, our servers are either Linux or FreeBSD.

There's no need to be hating M$ for every step they make (only for the direction in general ), just be wary and see/know the situations/tasks for which an "alternative" solution is recommended.

I have Open Office 2.0 on my Linux Partition but can't use it to Print because I cannot find a decent Linux Driver for my damn Canon printer

Few days ago I thought 'why dont give OpenOffice a try?'.
Yesterday I uninstalled MS Office (although I own a student license)
OO Writer and Calc really provide all the things you need. And it's free
