Open Office is a piece of shit.

Proof or ban!









. :thumbsup

I use the spreadsheet and Word equivalent apps and they work fine for me. I pretty much have every aspect of my business laid out on a multi-paged spreadsheet. What isn't working for you?

been using it for years since it came out and love it.

Been using it for years and it works well for me..

Been using it for a couple years as well with no problems.

I really like it ,,, Works well for all our needs !!!

open office is for poor ppl :)

it's fucking free.. go pay for something else if you don't like it

Works for us. What problem are you having?

I used it for a long time an liked it then I got involved with a project where the other people I was working with used Onenote so I needed to get MS Office so I could get it. I had no complaints about Open Office, but now that I am using Office 2010 it makes Open Office look like it is lacking in features, but then again it is free so you can't expect it to be the same.

Works OK until you get people sending you files created in newer versions of Word or Excel that have a bunch of macros and crap in them. I find the compatibility is no where near perfect. Although I suppose MS designs their stuff like that on purpose to limit the usefulness of their most popular free competitor.

Im sure they will update it

For being free, you cant complain! I've used it on my laptops for years now.

I used to use OpenOffice - now I use Google Docs.

Google Docs is great when collaborating on files with someone.

Not sure why but it is forever crashing.

I didn't want to admit this before because... well... because it is crashing on my Mac! And my Mac never crashes because Mac's like all Apple products are perfect! PERFECT I TELLZ YA!

I started using it on my new laptop. Haven't had any problems.

I use it sometimes...

it's pretty damn good considering it's free :thumbsup

If you don't like it, you can always buy MS Office :pimp

You keep telling yourself this d00d ...

TBH ... Open Office works much better than Microsoft Office in many respects ... (for example - Microsoft Office is extremely vulnerable to macro exploits which are virtually non-existant in OO ...)

Judging it because it it open source (free - as in beer) software makes no sense whatsoever and proves your idiocy! Linux is open source also, yet 80% of the world's servers are running it .... I guess hosts are all poor people? IDIOT! :disgust

If he can afford it.

We have MS Office on one machine and Open Office on the other 2 and the laptop, never any problems.

For the record .... I have no problem affording Office, but have chosen to use Open Office since the viable alternative was available ...

Open Office was/is kinda the HYUNDAI of office suites ... their first couple of offerings were pretty wonky, but in time they have become a world class option as good as any other!

Uninstall Open Office, then:

APPLICATIONS >> UTILITIES >> Disk Utility

Select your HDD, and then select "Repair Disk Permissions"

It sounds like something else has corrupted your disk permissions, and this would cause the crashes you are reporting ..

And then re-install Open Office.

So much hate for being just a software ...

Google Docs for the win! :pimp

it's open office, not same as office ms

Yep, use LibreOffice instead.

It works for me.

I dig it...works fine for me!

I do use this also ... very handy when on the go

Best method to convert any new ms office doc.

Cool, thanks for the tip!

It's free so it sometimes sucks!

Open Office is a great program.

Waste of money yes

i like pieces of shit... :thumbsup

Say what? :1orglaugh

I've only used the text editor and I have to agree - it sucked donkey's ass, I gave up after a few days and went back to using Word

Mark, sorry in advance.

MAC = Fish Food
Open office is great if you don't have to collaborate, if you don't do any power work, if you don't use the data base.

From the original developers of open office before it got took over

Open Office is a piece of shit
 

I could say same for microsoft office,i got free license with my laptop but i deleted it and using open office and gnumeric instead.But again,i rarely use it so i have different priorities when it comes to such software.For example i use gnumeric for tables because it very fast compared to open office calc or microsoft excel which need ages to load for some reason.
