andsome Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I did try it once, but could not find an equivalent program to MS Publisher, which is the part of Office 2000 that I use the most, with Word and Outlook also getting plenty of use. Does this new version rectify this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that it's being discontinued.I have Office 2000 on two C.D's and have a copy of each for safety reasons. Publisher is extremely useful for personal greetings cards. I get a lot of pleasue from making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Open office draw will do similar things to publisher, but if you want to go the whole hog try Scribus.http://www.scribus.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have just used Open Office to create a draft hand bill for a farmer friend, who wanted something knocking up for a chap who is having a farm "open day".Using Write it is possible to do most things that Serif DTP would do. You can insert text block, picture block shuffle things about and, sometimes, even get it right.Incidentally I am not on OO 2.2. yet.

It seems full of bugs at present, with a more stable version to follow, and something else needs installing first. I will exercise caution for the time being. If you hear any more at a later date I will be interested. THANKS for the thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Tried to install the new version but it went through the set-up then came up with 'error 1935 etc'. Now I have lost my previous version & settings & does the same if I try to re-install the previous version.On the open office forum it directs me to a fix but couldn't understand it. Others on there seem to be having the same trouble. casey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguy Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 cant u get the better version, staroffice, free from google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 As I understand it the only real difference between Star and OpenOffice is the support package provided for users by Sun for people who buy the Star license, not sure if any free versions qualify. You can get Star 7 as a free download, but that's older than OpenOffice 2 which I think equates to Star Office 8, which as far as I know isn't available as a freebie.You're correct about Star being available as part of the Google Pack but again, though the site doesn't specify, the picture looks suspiciously like Star 7 again.
