Use Microsoft Office in Linux? You can now! | |
|
||
| Time: 11:00 EST/16:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Many users opt out of the Linux OS simply because they have to use Microsoft Office and, in the past, Linux and Microsoft Office have been the IT equivalent of oil and water—they just didn’t mix. But now, with the help of CodeWeavers' new CrossOver Office product, any Linux user can also use Office. In this Daily Feature, I will show you how to do what, until recently, was unthinkable: Install CrossOver Office and work with Microsoft Office 2000 in Linux. | ||

| Why go to all this trouble when OpenOffice can Handle MS Office Documents? However, for those that don't have MS Office, and need compatibility with it, and dual boot between Windows and Linux, why not download and use OpenOffice for Windows? The price is right for one thing, and compatibility is assured. |

"Why go to all this trouble when OpenOffice can Handle MS Office Documents?"
OpenOffice and StarOffice CANNOT handle Microsoft Office documents. The open source office alternatives can SAVE AS and OPEN Microsoft Office documents, however, the formatting is a disaster when actually viewing/printing them in either application. Only the absolute BASIC formatting will carry over. WordPad or Notepad does a better job than the open alternatives. |

Also, will CrossOver allow for Outlook 2000/XP to function in Corporate and Workgroup mode? If not, then this is a failure to many businesses. Plus, if you have Office (2000 or XP), along with the license costs, you probably also have plenty of Windows licenses (and even more possibly these will be at a 1:1 ratio with one another) so that makes going to Linux a waste of paid for licenses.
