OpenOffice - Anybody Use It?

Thanks for the replies.

A friend of mine does not have Office on her laptop and she really can't afford to spend the money right now - so I thought it might fit the bill for her. In addition I have been thinking about it.

I'll send her the link for it.

Thanks again everyone.

I actually have a license through work to use MS Office, but because I don't have a CD/ROM drive on my Netbook, I can't install it on there.

So instead, I went to OpenOffice for the Netbook machine. It does everything I need, but I have to agree with one of the comments above regarding the spreadsheet program. A few of my spreadsheets in excel don't translate properly. But that's just a minor problem.

Can't beat the price!!!
