Read the reviews on Amazon, before you buy.

Works

Of course Works 9 is fully compatible with Windows 7. Again you are
showing your ignorance and pathological tendency to lie. Stop smoking
that dope, old man.

Bob I · Jan 5, 2011

Yes, some vendors even pre-install it on the computers they sell.

cat · Jan 5, 2011

I didn't say it wasn't. Course, you snipped my post. Why?

Here it is in its entirety:

(snip bullshit)

No you didn't, you lied. You said Works 9 does not "work fine" on any
version of Windows, which is complete and utter bulls. It works
perfectly on XP, Vista and Windows 7, which was quite rightly pointed
out by other posters. Quit your pathetic anti-corporate lying. Nobody
is buying it. Literally.

Yes, they do sometimes unfortunato! Sometimes they also install trial versions of MS Office as well.

Me no like the idea! Specially when they pre-install Norton which I grew
to detest in 2006, if I remember rightly, when it got so bloated that my
computer was creaking under the load!

PS. OpenOffice is fine with Win7 and is compatible with MS Office
in that it can open and save MS Office files either in the MS
Office formats or in OpenOffice formats. In other words if you
have OpenOffice you don't really need MS Office which is the big
brother of MS Works.

In fact OpenOffice is like having MS Office also installed on your
computer.

Except for the compatibility issues. I'm a HUGE fan of Open Office and
I use it myself but I really wish they'd stop with the compatibility
lies, it is NOT COMPATIBLE with MS Office, it loses formatting on Excel
files and others.

For home use, I highly recommend Open Office but if you work on files
from your job at home, it's just not going to do the job, spend the
bucks or get your employer to buy you a license for MS Office.

Thanks for all the replies, have downloaded but not yet installed Open
Office.
It's mainly for my daughter and granddaughter who are used to MS Works so
I'll install both and let them decide.

Yep Norton certainly turned into something Peter never approved of.

LibreOffice, which someone suggested and which I installed just to try
out, has turned out to be OpenOffice by another name. I haven't yet
noticed any differences.

There probably aren't any yet. LibreOffice exists because of Oracle's
acquisition of Sun. Open Office was sponsored by Sun, and many of the
OO developers have no confidence in Oracle's intentions toward the
suite. So they forked a new project that will not rely on Oracle.

LOL. Peter Norton is what you meant Bob right. I am too far down the ladder to take
on such a feat

Correct, I was referring to the founder.

That's good to know.

files and others.

I quite agree with my experience with Writer. Even for some simple
things it behaves oddly. I created a single page with some text,
followed by some line art (a single drawn arrow about 7 cm long at 45°
to the text) and some more text. Saved as a ".odt and reopened in OO3
everything is as it should be. Saved as a Word 6 *.doc and reopened in
OO3 the arrow had gone - just a large space there instead.

For home use, I highly recommend Open Office but if you work on files
from your job at home, it's just not going to do the job, spend the
bucks or get your employer to buy you a license for MS Office.

Or get the employer to change to OO - might save a lot of time and
money, especially in retraining Pre-Office 2007ers to use The Ribbon...

Have to agree, it took me almost 3 minutes to get comfortable with the
ribbon....

I LOL'd.

bobster · Jan 7, 2011

?I hated the ribbon at first but after using it in WLM2011 and Office, Home and Student 2010, I have come to appreciate its visibility and ease of use. I keep it enabled at all times.
