Yes, Google Chrome can work on a desktop/laptop with Windows XP SP3.

No, it currently only comes with basic wordpad in most cases. Unless it was offered as a bundle. However, OpenOffice is a free software that has the same capabilities and opens the same .doc file as MS Word.

Openoffice.org

Bullets display a small icon (such as•), suggesting that the order of the items presented are arbitrary, while a numbered list suggests that the order is important either from a chronological view point (such as instructions) or as a matter of priority (where "1" is typically the most important item).

Yes, OpenOffice.org can run on Linux and some like Ubuntu include this office program.

Sorry for my English :)Short answer - the interface, *IF* you are not used to it.

Long answer, considering you as a intelligent being: (I won't comment the price, of course)That's a very, very delicate question. I myself answered it a loooot of times to a looot of people. They both are programs with similar purpose. I use both of them in a daily base and I think the answer is "NO", it's not "inferior". But it's not "superior", too. They're just different. They both are better or worse based on the characteristics the job you need done.

Yes, both of them have strong and weak points. MS Office has a lot of bells and twinkles and is easier to use, but is a way too cumbersome or too difficult or too architecturally bad to do some things done. MS Office has the better interface (I think so) and lots of marketing :) - I like MS Office to do little jobs and files that I wouldn't care to lose. I use OpenOffice to professional work (note: I'm not a designer) and files that I know I want to keep for a long time. The times I need a LOT of resources to do text editing I use a borrowed WordPerfect (a legal copy, ou course). Yet more professional and styled jobs? Call a designer and use InDesign :)

I use Excel since 1992 and Word since 1989 and in that 20 years I've seen A LOT of people lose their documents, or the files became corrupted... The internal organization of MS Office formats are a real mess, so I don't and I won't trust my important works to that suite ;)

I'm not trying to create any flamewars or trolling, that's just my reality. I have more than 10 000 documents in my computer, some are 18 years old and I can open and edit and index all of them. Be careful with the important things. I prefer a long term relationship.If I need real security or a more professional way to organize my documents across a enterprise, I usually choose OpenOffice. MS Office is locked to Windows and the Mac version is always late, so if I need to generate documents to be read on different operating systems I again choose OpenOffice. At the college (more than 10 years ago) I've used TeX (don't remember the editor) and WordPerfect and I can still today see and print the files exactly as they was at that time. Sorry MS Office, I tried for years to learn and like you as other people do, but your fancy interface with that ugly inners just got me away - but that's my thuth and not everyone's.

I know people who have only used OpenOffice and think MS Office way to work is "different", for a number of reasons, and wouldn't like to change.

I too know people who have only used MS Office and think OpenOffice way to work is "different", for another number of reasons, and wouldn't like to change, too.

And I know some people who use none of them - users of WordPerfect Office, KOffice/GnomeOffice, iWork, LyX (yes they exist and believe me, in this respect they are the happiest people I know), Google Docs, EasyOffice, Scribus...

People who uses some system (in daily base) usually hate to change their way to do the things, or the way they get their job done -- "Hey, the program can't do this and that!" "No granny, it does, look here and here." "Hummmpf, why can't be equal?". That's inertia, and the number one reason to criticism of other programs.

Be careful of "advocates" (i.e. "fanatics") of the systems, they "owns all the truth and know everything", usually have a twisted look of all the other programs. They do a very very big disservice to other people, by imposing their ideas.

So, the answer is... "DEPENDS". Use both systems. Try other ones. Think about them. Study their strong and weak points and not only the look and feel. If you've tried and tried and aren't happy with something, change. And be happy with your choices :)

yes

u can. open the file then save as doc(choose the option fo 2003 doc)

you can't...use Microsoft excel.

OpenOffice writer - is a word-processor which works similar to Microsoft Word. It is capable of many functions including using different page sizes, text sizes, styles and colours, graphics etc...

Use script

It's a suite of integrated programs incorporating word-processing, spreadsheet, database and others.

A spreadsheet software is a program or application that is used to organize, analyze and store information in a digital worksheet. This type of application is commonly used in financial computations and documentations.

First go to the Page Layout tab in your ribbon.

Next, in the Page Background box, should be a button that says Page Color.

Click it.

A pop up box should appear. Click the Picture Tab.

It should be simple from there.

Nobody. The Open Office suite of programs is 'Open Source' - meaning it's 'owned' by the community of users. The original program is owned by Sun Microsystems - BUT - it was designed so that you - the end-user - can manipulate it to suit your needs.

Microsoft Access is an individual database program. Open Office is a suite of programs incorporating database, spreadsheet, writing and presentation programs.

Open Office is designed to be compatible with Microsoft's Office software and it can handle most Word documents.

All the versions display several slides at the left. They are all the slides you make in the normal view.

No, unfortunately, WordPad does NOT have word count...however, if you download the free openoffice.org, then you can use its word count feature.

The Open Office download (See links below) is a disc image file (.dmg). Double click on the .dmg icon and you are presented with an icon labelled openoffice.org and another icon which is an alias to your Applications folder. Simply drag the openoffice icon onto the Applications folder icon and Open Office will be copied into the Applications folder. Double click on the Open Office icon in your Applications folder to launch Open Office. There is a version of Open Office called Neo Office that is tweaked specifically for Mac OS X.
