Only one problem with it, only one. and that is its size. As compared to Microsoft Word editions which used to come in 1 CD before Office 2007, Open Office comes in a size of GBs. Am I wrong?

In my personal experience i had some problems with it. Although like you say, when its free how can you really complain?

Although if you're that bothered we all know there are many ways to get office for free.

I think you are wrong mate.
I had a look in my Add and Remove Programmes folder. That has Open Office as being 278MB.
Or does that prove you right ??

I've been using OOo for years, I've forgotten how long now. As someone said, it's like a Swiss Army Knife. It'll open (and save in) all sorts of file types, all the equivalent M$ Office file types going back several generations, plus several others.

I'm a long distance truck driver, so I don't really need a full office suite, not for my job anyway.On the occasions that I do want an office type programme I'm sure I could get by on what comes with Windows, but why muck about getting by? Open Office is there, to do what I need to do, at an unbeatable price.
