Hi, There are a few things to make sure of: 1). That the fonts used by the Windows machines are available for the Linux machines. 2). That there are no-linked workbooks. 3). That the macros are not too complicated. 4). There are no-odbc connections to data sources. his should ensure a nice smooth changeover to Linux with no-major issues. Regards Q p.s. My team is running Linux desktops integrating fully with the rest of the Windows network (running Outlook, Exchange, Windows 2000, Office, etc.). On Thu, 2002-08-29 at 05:22, h g wrote:
Has anyone had any experience with a similar scenario?
An small government office with 15 machines all using MS Office. All files in and out are MS Office format.
The possiblity exist for replacing the Windows/Office installs with Linux/StarOffice.
The key is that all files have to be flawlessly and seamlessly intregrated with other offices which insist on MS format.
All of the local office machines are on their own separate network.
TIA
