RE: Redhat Experience

Well, I just finished my grad project, and I had to switch from MSOffice
under Windows to StarOffice under Linux. Heavy formated documents will not
be "translated" properly, but from that standpoint, I had the same problems
with WordPerfect, and using other universal "wanna-be" formats such as rtf.
Excel complex worksheets are not fully compatible with StarCalc.

During my experience, I had two staroffice crashes, and two printout messes.
I lost a pic on a document that was made with MSChart, and I had some little
trouble on exchanging information between StarWriter and StarCalc.

I still feel Excel is better than StarCalc. Even graph functions are better.
One thing I could not find out how to perform was how to create a graph in a
separate worksheet, as you can do in Excel. I also feel trend analysis is
better in Excel.

On the overall, I am satisfied with StarOffice, and I would say that for
regular office work I can live without MSOffice. But Excel still rules
(although QuattroPro was a great spreadsheet also).

Just courious, how are the users taking to Star Office?? I have tried
Open Office and been fairly happy with it but I have also had a few
documents
it would not open but M$ office will view just fine. I am considering trying
Star Office but I am not sure what the differences really are. I have seen
a side by side comparison. Does anyone know if such a thing exists??
