[CS-FSLUG] Office suites

[N. Thompson]

I just thought I would mention this to those of you running OpenOffice.org

My sister has version 1.1.2 running in Windows and I'm running 1.1.0 in 
Windows, I haven't checked this in Linux yet since printing is nicer in 
Windows. Anyway the bug happens when you misspell Internet, perhaps with 
a lower case "i" or by any other method you may chose, then right 
clicking on the word and accidentally selecting internee as the 
correction. Following that, every time you type in Internet which is a 
valid word it will swap it for internee all the time.

The other problem I had was with the beta for the upcoming 
OpenOffice.org 2.0, in every version I've tried bulleted lists with 
custom bullets flatten out, I use tab to start sub-lists so to speak but 
when I save the files and then open them again the lists have flattened 
out, ruining my document.

I'm disappointed with OpenOffice.org, to be honest it has too many bugs 
and thats really unacceptable for software I need to depend on for my 
school work so I have "upgraded" to StarOffice 5.2 for now.

I am considering purchasing a commercial office suite, maybe MS Office 
although if Corel comes out with a Linux version I'd consider that 
instead, why? Because the school has standardized on MS Office and if I 
use that it will save me a tonne of grief, plus MS Office has a better 
spell checker and crammer checker than any other office suite I've 
tried; however, if Corel has success with their revived WP Office for 
Linux than I'd give that a lot of consideration and hope it has a good 
spell checker and grammar checker of its own as long as Corel includes 
the Linux version in the box with the Windows version without increasing 
the already steep price tag, if it costs any more I might as well buy a 
copy of MS Office and CrossOver Office but either way both choices are 
expensive right now.
