Subject:OpenOffice v StarOffice? From:Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 9 Jan 2004 13:59:19 -0500
Hey guys,
My current client does some work with Sun, so I occasionally
need to deliver documents in StarOffice format. The client
has StarOffice 6, which is terribly buggy and unstable.
My question -- how compatible are StarOffice and OpenOffice?
I'm assuming, from what I've heard, that OO has some
significant improvements over SO. Can I use OO for these tasks
and deliver to the folks up north without causing problems?
