2:47AM Wed, May 26 2010

2:48AM Wed, May 26 2010

short answer.. yes.. you should know!

2:49AM Wed, May 26 2010

Ahahaha. No I dont. I heard it does though.

2:49AM Wed, May 26 2010

yes they do

2:49AM Wed, May 26 2010

Hrm.. Like what? But shldnt be too much of an issue right? Cos if I cant get office for mac, I'll use OpenOffice.

2:50AM Wed, May 26 2010

Vice versa also right? As in, Microsoft/Windows users can read the documents I send them?

2:51AM Wed, May 26 2010

usually nothing major... mostly things placement of images. Text fidelity is pretty good.

2:51AM Wed, May 26 2010

Yes. Though Excel format sometimes has problems

2:51AM Wed, May 26 2010

Yeah it should read Office docs

2:52AM Wed, May 26 2010

2:55AM Wed, May 26 2010

2:55AM Wed, May 26 2010

What abt Microsoft users? Can they read my documents if I create them using OpenOffice?

2:55AM Wed, May 26 2010

What kinda problems?

2:56AM Wed, May 26 2010

Formatting/formula problems, I hear

2:58AM Wed, May 26 2010

Got it. Thanks.

2:59AM Wed, May 26 2010

yes it does. On your Mac try looking for NeoOffice. It's openoffice made to run better on Macs.

3:04AM Wed, May 26 2010

Yeah but you have to save using MS Office format

3:04AM Wed, May 26 2010

NeoOffice? Hrm.. Ok. Alternative to Microsoft Office right? Can Windows users read my docs if I create them with Neo/OpenOffice?

3:11AM Wed, May 26 2010
