There have been some good posts and I'll not reiterate. You might want to obtain OpenOffice for Windows. You can then have the users check out Open Office. I am aware of some anomalies with OpenOffice that do not occur with StarOffice 6.0. (And Open Office/Linux vs. Open Office (Windows), but those should be resolved shortly. By Migrating to either Open Office and/or Star Office 6.0 on Windows you can then more easily migrate to Linux. On 28 Aug 2002 at 22:22, 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.
