Re: [LUG] Helping newbies

 

On Feb 14, 2008, Kevin Lucas was like:

> I 'Must use M$  Office' 

I have this from my daughter. I bought a laptop for her and got her
started with Firefox, Open Office etc but she has now migrated to M$ -
because she needs to share files with her colleagues who have M$
Office. She does have a licence. She claims that if you try to write
stuff with OO Calc, save it as .xls and send it to a M$ Office user
they can't read it. That was my experience some while ago; has it
changed? She is not unwilling to try things but I have had to relent. 
(PS it is now running so slowly as to be unusable but that is another
story . .)
