![]() ![]() If you have other questions about using OpenOffice on your Mac, quickly review the other Mac FAQ subjects first, since you might find an answer and won't need to wait for a response. Apple's products are designed to be easy to use for people accustomed to the Mac way of doing things. If your needs are simple, perhaps your software should be simple too. Q59: Can I exchange documents between OpenOffice and iWork, Apple's office suite? These products are somewhat different than OpenOffice, but you may find them more convenient because you don't need to install them, and Apple will keep them updated as you update MacOS. ![]() Their iWork products are already installed on your system. Don't want it, fine, just delete the folder you 'installed' it too and it is all gone.SPC today wrote:Every post I read seems to be highly technical and I am just a little old lady trying to do what I thought was a simple download.Apple includes a text processor, spreadsheet, and presentation manager with MacOS. (Using the 'AltSearch' extension isn't much use as it so God awful slow.) I keep an old Microsoft Office Word 2003 installed on my system and the only purpose it serves me is in very occasionally using its replace function, which is a work of art compared to OO and LO.Īs Hagar suggests you could give LO a dry-run by just trying the portable for a while, it won't interfere with your current install of OO and you could test it out yourself that way. The only thing I feel really critical of in both OO and LO is the find-and-replace function which is difficult to use when you want to find and replace 'special characters'. The only thing I miss of OO is the Help file which is a work of art compared to the abomination that is LO Help. Now I'm used to LO and it was easy to adjust as there really is, in terms of just using it, not much difference. So I switched, which wasn't (initially) easy as I found, to my surprise, that I did have some emotional attachment to OO. ![]() Though when I needed OOo/OO they were always good enough for me, until this happened: I thought ODT was a universal format document. Like others here I used OOo and OO for years, though never intensively as I most often do my writing in an RTF editor, Treepad Business Edition (now no longer in production). I wasn't meaning to be hard-hearted in what I said. ![]()
