My advice is DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE with OO for important documents.
Like I said in other posts, my daughter used it, saved as Word97 doc and
when the same document was opened in REAL MSOffice, the formatting was way
off.
This was a very simple doc.
Some bold face type, headers and footers (more like an outline in fact) and
it looked like shit.
Good thing I checked first.
I suggest you do the same.
I'd post it here but it contains too much personal information.
It's a document she needs to send with her application to Law School.
You reading this Roy Schestowitz?
Some people do things with their life.
Others, like you, Roy Schestowitz, sit in a dorm room, waste your parents
money and SPAM.
