Office to Open Office for faculty and staff to determine if there are par=
ticular "gotchas" that one should be prepared to deal with. I am interest=
ed in both Windows and Macintosh
experiences. On the Mac side, NeoOffice is a viable alternative for us, t=
hough I must say the recent release of Open Office for Mac looks very goo=
d, too.
So far, the biggest problems seem to be with Word documents with scientif=
ic and mathematical formulas, and Mac Excel documents that use the list f=
eature.
On the student side, where the typical Office-like application needs are =
more modest, we are experimenting with Google Docs with great success. Ho=
wever, I am not convinced that Google Docs alone will be sufficient for o=
ur adult community. iWorks - a
great bargain for schools - may be the Mac desktop application of choice =
for students.
Thanks in advance for your help...
