Can you open a MS Works data file with open office?

Yes, it is possible to open a MS Works data file with Open Office. MS Works data files are generally stored with a ".was" extension, and they are documents produced by Microsoft Works, an office suite developed and distributed by Microsoft. While MS Works is no longer supported by Microprokey, the file format is still quite common and can be opened using software such as Open Office. Open Office is a free, open-source office suite that is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It supports a variety of file formats, including MS Works data files. To open a MS Works data file with Open Office, simply launch the program, click on the "File" menu, select "Open", and choose the file from its location. Open Office will then open the file and display it in its workspace.

Can you use open office while using ms office?

You mean run them at the same time? Sure, why not. I haven't used either in a while, but you can open files created in either suite with the other one, but you usually have to save the MS Office file using an older file format that Open Office can understand. I've done it before flawlessly. The only thing I've noticed is that the formatting might look slightly different in Open Office, but goes back to normal in MS Office. By now, the latest MS Office should be backwards compatible with Open Office, but read the documentation. Better yet, when you save a file in MS Office, save it as you would a normal file. Then save-as and choose the older file format, e.g. MS Office 2007. Open both up in Open Office, and see if you get a prompt. If they both open up fine, you're good to go. I don't think there are really any problems with Open Office files opening in MS Office. The open-source community is really good at making sure Open Office files can be read using MS.

Can reports made with open office be read by users with ms office?

Not sure about the nature of the reports: # A report as a text document that is created using OpenOffice.org Writer can be saved in various MS Office formats and therefore be read by MS Word. # A report that is a form of an OpenOffice.org Base database? I'm not sure if that can be saved in an MS Access compatible format.
