HancomOffice2 is nicer than OpenOffice, bot costs ~$50.00
The cost is not the worst part. The worst is that I had great hopes it could replace SO-5.2, but my hopes were only surpassed by my disappointment. IF your needs are simple, HO will do the job. IF you need to deal with customers who, in 9 times out of 10, will come with .xls or .doc documents, don't bother. Yes, HO can _read_ an Excel spreadsheet, but won't keep the columns witdth, among other things. Worse yet, if, after you've done you work, you send it back as an .xls document... forget it. One simple test: I have a spreadsheet in which at one point there is the function to enter the current date in the format "30 April". I couldn't do it with HO, because it insists on inserting "30 April 2002". In Word, I did one try only. I imported my stationery that I had created in MS Word. Very simple logo in two colors was completely trashed by HO, to the point of no salvation. In contrast, SO was unable to match the script font I had in MS Word and substituted by an approximation; not as neat, but at least readable and recognizable. In another mail, Sjoerd Hiemstra asks, "I wonder, how is that with ... Hancom? Do they have a "font installer" or something?" The plain answer is "yes." The full answer is: my 148 IQ is not enough to master how to use it. Anyone wants to buy a very lightly used HO, still in pristine state? Regards, gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida's Suncoast.
