Title: Open Office Faster and Better at Converting Web Pages than MS Office 2000
Post by: Whizbang on July 22, 2007, 22:53 hrs
I think that says it all.  I have never liked the way that Office 2000 converts to Word format from a web page.  Quite often, I just want to print exerpts and not complete web pages.  I am virtually always disappointed.  I decided to dump Office 2000 in favor of Open Office, and it has continually been easier and faster to adapt to the default format.  MS Office takes a very long time to convert, but Open Office converts in no more than 1/3 of the time and does so with more clarity and better page filling than MS.  I continue to be impressed and have found no points in which MS is superior for my basic needs.
