I know. OO.o sucks. 99% compatible if you mean exported documents. As far as functionality, it isn't even close.

Unfortunately, I have to do a lot of technical writing at me work and it requires all sorts of stupid things that <b>just aren't there</b> in OO.o (or anything else, for that matter).

If the game requires a poor input method to be difficult enough to be enjoyable, then it is a poor game. Maybe I should reconsider my purchase before I open it.

I think you'll still enjoy it, because you have to actually think, but I just get tired of all these PC whiners going "Oh, it's so hard!" <b>You don't know what hard is!</b>

The abbatoir was actually pretty easy once I shot the lights out, got the mine placement correct, and reactivated the correct gun platform.

I'm just playin' smarter! You and your small sticks!!!:p

I could live with that ...

Has anyone tried out SunOffice 7 or whatever? Apparently it cleans up a lot of the little problems with OO.o.

I wonder if MS will ever swallow their pride and include native PDF support in Office. Nah, prolly not...

Just as soon as they figure out a way to sue Adobe into submission and steal their technology before integrating it into the newest version of MS Office...

Tobiasly · 09-24-2003, 08:09 AM

They don't need to steal it; it's an open standard. Otherwise OO.o wouldn't be able to support it.

All PDF is, is basically compressed postscript.
