Chart looks good on Excel, appalling on OpenOffice.org's spreadsheet
Why not ask in the OpenOffice newsgroups?
How does the workbook look in Excel on a PC? Probably pretty good, right? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ wrote in message oups.com... Hi.

Sorry, I was being obnoxious. I don't know of any such groups, though they must exist. Google may help. I've only used OO for about a half hour one time. Took much longer to download, install, and uninstall than I had the patience for testing. This was a version or two ago, and it was pretty amateurish at the time. I've heard it's made great strides, but I've also heard it still can't hold a candle to Excel. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ wrote in message ups.com...

The only dedicated NTTP newsgroup that I see on my news server is
alt.pl.comp.os.linux.openoffice but it does not seem to involve posts in English. The OP could try comp.apps.spreadsheets Or, the Open Office web page http://support.openoffice.org/index.html does indicate some mailing lists and a discussion site that the OP could join. Since I downloaded it for numerical comparisons, I haven't discarded OO as quickly as you did, but I agree that even the OO 2.0 interface is nowhere near as friendly as Excel.

This is a generic newsgroup:
comp.apps.spreadsheets Not as much traffic as in the microsoft.public.excel.* newsgroups, though. Jon Peltier wrote: I don't know of any openoffice newsgroups Sorry, I was being obnoxious.

Yo!
Install openoffice.org on the mac too. It is free, and during the installation you can tell it not to associate with microsoft office format files (not to open them by default). If you need to send an OO doccument to someone else that is laisy enough not to install OO, send it as .pdf file. One more thingy: after installing OO, if you do not use only english, open writer, click Files\wizards\Install new dictionaries and install the dictionary you need.

These two groups seem to have a fair amount of traffic--hth.
