I see no reason to have MS Office for person use anymore.
Heck—I don’t even use it for business use either. LibreOffice does everything I need it to do.
I despise OpenOffice.
It can’t save a document in RTF format without screwing up the formatting so badly, it looks like a team of deranged two-year-olds got hold of it.
Some of the keyboard shortcuts don’t work the way I expect. (Did Microsoft patent things like “F12” for Save As?) It took me multiple tries to figure out how to get Freeze Panes to actually work. Ugh.
I use Office at work, a customer word processor called Scrivener for writing, and Open Office as little as possible. In fact I’m probably going to break down and buy a copy of Office for my personal use soon.
What’s the point. MS wants to charge by the mouse click and the key press. Predictable revenue stream.
OpenOffice.org has reached the point where it is all I ever use outside of work.
I see no reason to have MS Office for person use anymore.
Agree!
Just be forewarned that during a period when I had Office 2007 and downloaded Open Office.org just simply to see what it was all about, a few days later both Office 2007 and Open Office.org were disabled. Coincidence? I think not.
Same here.
Office 2007 ticked me off royally - what used to take one or two clicks now entailed four or five. And instead of knowing where they were instinctively from long use, I had to root around in sub menus to find out where it went.
I grew up on Lotus and Wizzywig, so was pretty fluent. Now, ptah!
