MS Office 2003 or Open Office?

---

I'm setting up a new PC for my highschool niece, which is the better office package?

Open Office. Your niece is never going to use the millions of features in Office 2003 or Open Office.

if your niece won't be using excel, powerpoint and other office packages then go for openoffice gaan ra cya but one thing nakabati sa openoffice prone cya magka error then mag start recovery pa ka..

openoffice nalang free pa
pwede paka maka open ug word, excel, powerpoint documents.
hasta ang interface niya gisoun jud ang MS Office.

Prefer ko openoffice for a startup. sama sa giingon ni vern, dli man magamit sa imong niece ang millions of feature sa MSOffice or even sa akoa gani basta maka-type lang payts na. heheh btaw, depende sad na sa requirement sa imong niece.

Depende sa use.. naa mn moUse og Office application which magNeed og MS offices.. In your niece's case, high school.. if kusog mangayo og tabang sa encarta... maau if office 2003 ky maIntegrate nya.. but if ala lang.. for typing documents or any other minor tasks lang.. then openoffice is very ok..

NOTE: When using openoffice, be sure to make ur extension to .doc para maOpen nimo sa ms office n case you need to..

Open Office for me, it's an open source office application.. no need for a license.. lols

thanks for the replies. i have both installers and it would be confusing to my niece if there are two sets of
office programs installed. which has better templates, powerpoint or impress? which is the better word processor in terms of ease of usage MS word or writer? i'm curious of OO's math program, it will be helpful for her math subjects. MS office doesn't have anything like OO's math.
