I also can't figure out how to make only *PART* of a page columnized in StarOffice - I have to resort to using tables.
I haven't figured out how to do this in MSWord yet, either, I've always used TextBoxes for stuff... works better that way (especially on my slow system)
Um, not that i've noticed. I've been using StarOffice 5.1 at home for quite some time. I use Excel spreadsheets all the time at work, and use StarOffice at home to read them. I have not yet had a problem with my formulae working properly. I'm sorry if it didn't work for you, perhaps your forumae had errors in them? (its a joke, don't look at me like that...)
I am VERY happy with StarOffice. I edit Word & Excel files all the time with it, and have not had a problem with either. I'm working on a PowerPoint presentation ATM, and its been through my copy of StarOffice in my laptop several times.
As for the fonts, that (like everything in Linux?) is fixable. A friend of mine installed the Windows TTFs (or made X think it was here, or something) and everything has looked fine since.
I haven't really played with the SO Macros yet, but I would assume those don't transfer too well, but don't quote me on that.
Hakori Yes, i'm new, now sit down and stop pointing that thing at me.
