At 1:21pm on March 28th, 2008, Anindita Basu said…: Scott's suggestion sounds great. A forum on Open Office sounds really interesting. Since I am a great fan of FOSS generally and OO specifically, I'd be among the first to join your OO group if you start one.

Have you considered creating an Open Office group where folks who have similar interests can discuss the issues? Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your participation. I look forward to interacting with you and the many new members we're attracting.

At 12:59am on March 25th, 2008, Prashant said…: Sure..will do. Meanwhile I have few comments on openoffice.Org authoring. I have been a regular user of MS Word. But, I have used it for last two months as I was working on Ubuntu PC. Initially it looked fine..but when I started working with files, it played its real havoc. I can't apply the style with the same comfort as I can in MS Word. Also, the doc lost its formatting when I saved the doc in ".doc" format; reason is obvious. I learnt a lesson and now am using XP PC with MS Word 2007.
Just want to confirm if others have this problem with openoffice..if they have used that.
