I agree Ray. I use OOo exclusively for personal use, and even though my
needs aren't much, it meets them all. What impresses me (no pun
intended, lol) is that it can open every single .ppt email attachment I
get! Honestly I was not expecting perfection, so expecting to run into
a problem with that sooner or later, but none so far.
I have a retail license of Office 2007 Pro which sits around unused
because the menus in OOo are so much closer to the menus in older
versions of MS Office that I am accustomed to using. Much less of a
learning curve than Office 2007!
YMMV
