I think its a correct and fair assessment. I wish it were not so, I guess I have just gotten use to living with it. We made a conscious decision to use Open Office and so we have it everywhere, and I dont think about it any more, but now that I am looking at it. .............. I feel your pain, Yes you are right. please give the feedback to the OO team. I think they really need to hear why mac users don't use OO as much as they could, Esp when they have worked so hard to make the development tools for mac OSX available free. And made Darwin open source too. Oliver Jones wrote:

Hmm. Same place I was looking before. Lots of the mirrors report 404 errors. I managed to get a copy from one of the mirrors in the end though. After installing X11 and OOo I fired it up and it's about as good as you could expect for a Unix app on a Mac. Ie, not very good. It would do for a geek like me. I could put up with it being completely different to everything else. But on reflection I think I need a more "MacOS" like app for my mother. So I downloaded the MS Office:Mac 30 day trial. I will give that a going over and see if it is worth the $700+ it costs....
