note even close to 100% compatible with current versions of MS Office. it can read/write most simple Excel/Word files, but often has problems with advanced formatting, the PowerPoint equivalent isn't even that close, and Base is nothing like Access. Using the OpenOffice programs is about like setting the wayback machine for 1999.
Never ever used Access or other parametrised databases. Always prefer to design, write and implement my own - they are much better and 100% user friendly too :-)
OO-writer never given me any real problems, It lacks the paragraph numbering and formatting ease of Ami Pro 3 (from 1992).
