I've tried...

I haven't played with it much, but have you looked at Google Docs?

I have, just like open office.

I love Open Office, I run Ubuntu on my computer at home, and the only problems I encounter is margins or spacing when I bring a document to work and it tries to open it with Windows 2007, when they switched their file extensions to the stupid .docx, .xlsx, etc format. When I "save as" in Open Office, I just choose to save as .doc Windows 2003 format. Not a lot of problems there after. I am not positive of this, but I think some of the newer Windows are beginning to include .odt format as a readable file extension and that simplifies things greatly when you have Open Office.

I walked away from Windows and haven't looked back since. Even though I'm not too adept at computer use, I've learned a lot at least, and haven't had a hard drive crash or virus since.

Never had a HD crash or a serious virus... but I like windows, lol.

See if your company participates in the Microsoft Home Use Program (www.microsofthup.com)

If so, you can buy office for $10.

They do not.






Thanks for trying Pat. I think I may have found one hopefully. Will update if it comes to fruition.
