MS Office to OpenOffice - It’s so hard to let go. Microsoft Office is the industry standard. It costs big dollars. Can you imagine something that could replace it for free.
OpenOffice.org 2 is an open, feature-rich multi-platform office productivity suite. The user interface and the functionality is very similar to Microsoft Office.
From installation to use, OpenOffice.org is a valid stand-in for Microsoft Office. If you only use 5 percent of Microsoft Office's feature set (a majority of the computing world), making the switch to OpenOffice.org shouldn't be a problem.
If you must exchange embedded objects with Microsoft Office users, your best bet is to stick with Microsoft Office until the gents at OpenOffice.org are able to get their suite to play well with Microsoft Object linking and embedding (OLE).
