February 14, 200521 yr Hi,have anyone installed open office for win98se ? I like to hear comments fromusers before a long download with only 56k connection.
February 14, 200521 yr It installs and works fine with win98/98se/ME.Only thing though, is that if you have less than 128MB of RAM, you'll see it quite slow.
February 14, 200521 yr Works fine.Everything is exactely like with Ms Office except the find-and-replace in "Open Word" that is less advanced unfortunately._______________What does it mean:you'll it quite slow.
February 14, 200521 yr It is an excellent FREE substitute for MS Office. Not too buggy etc.. I would not go so far as to say it is exactly the same as MS Office since there would be some copyright issues if it where. They have had to name some of the functionality and menu selections differently which can be confusing. The biggest difference is how the HELP file search works. I think its terrible but what do I know. And yes it will run rather slow on an underpowered underRAMed system and a Win98 box may crash from time to time if you use up all the resources. This resource issue is a problem with Win98 not Openoffice but to work around it turn as many running processes off as you can before starting any big (lengthy) projects with it. And do save data frequently.
February 14, 200521 yr Is Open Office Microsoft Office 2003 compatable? I am currently using the Access 2003 runtime to run an access application. It's a low cost alternative to upgrading 20+ PCs to Office 2003.
February 14, 200521 yr OpenOffice.org can read various versions of the MS Office documents. You also can save your documents to various MS Office formats. However, not everything available with OpenOffice.org Writer can be transferred to MS Word, and not everything can be imported.It is also able to read/read other file formats such as StarWriter.
February 18, 200521 yr Access is a database program, and from the looks of http://www.openoffice.org/product/dbase.html , it just might do itfunny that the website address says dbase I thought that program was dead
April 8, 200521 yr Simply CRASH both 1.2 and 1.4. My Machine: Celeron 400MHz ,300 MB free. All updates from windows.update What's wrong? Thanks in advance.
April 8, 200521 yr How much of system RAM you have?Atleast 64 MB is needed.....And then, OpenOffice 2.0 series is a better choice to run - does not crash.
April 9, 200521 yr RAM: 160 MB (32MB +128MB) and UNICOWS.DLL installed previously since 1.1.2 installation. So, do you recommend OOo 2.0 although is BETA?
