Having used multiple computers, some with MS Office, and some without, I have found Open Office to be compatible in most cases.

As mentioned, the only problems I've encountered are related to complex issues in Excel.

In a "catastrophe", it will often bail you out. (my expereience)

Thanks Gary--I've used OO myself in the past and agree. However, her co-primary need within Office was PowerPoint.

Btw, the situation resolved with her purchasing a new Office--a lesson not necessarily learned in school ;-)
