I just ordered the Deluxe edition of StarOffice w/ the filter upgrades. I was wondering if it has a better time now opening PowerPoint Docs? I tried to open a .ppt file that someone sent me and it just ate mem like pacman, yet did not display anything. I had to kill the process. :/ TTFN,

Hi, I went and got the latest StarOffice501, called the "filter update".

It loads windows docs good.

I tried to use it's online functions, like email, newsgroups, and email. The internet stuff did'nt work.

Has anyone gone online with StarOffice? If so, what options did you have to set?

I did make an "outbox" for email, but it locked up when trying to send a test message. I set the mail opotions right. Do you use "manual or automatic" DNS settings?

It's just for kicks, no real problem.
