Hi All,
I have Office 2007 installed in my PC...plan to install another office software which one shall i go for Open Office.org or Office 2007.
Which is better between this 2?Can open office such as Ms Word file can open all existing Word document for MS word 2003,2007 and 2010?
In order to answer that question we would need to know what you define as "better". For instance, if your main consideration is price then OpenOffice is better since it is free to download. However, if you need the ability to create and run VBA macros, then Office 2007 is better since OpenOffice doesn't support VBA.
MS Office 2007 is better especially because of the ribbon interface. Its also easier for me because it is where I have accustomed myself with. Open Office is also buggier in my experience.
But in terms of budget, if you want it free Open Office is so much better because its FREE. Only a few people who can get genuine MS Office for free.
I would suggest that you do some research on both, examine each carefully & make up your own mind. Opinions are just that, someones subjective views.
To get you going refer the links below for reviews on the pros & cons of Open Office etc.
FYI - I prefer & use MS office 2007 currently.
