Is OpenOffice inferrior in any way to MS Office?
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.
http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_office_suites
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 :)

This article describes how to import a Works database file into a Microsoft Access 2000 database. This is a two-step process. First you must save the Works database file in a format compatible with Microsoft Access. Then you can import the Works database into Microsoft Access.
Back to the top Save the Works database file in a format compatible with Microsoft Access. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Open the database in Works. 2. Make sure the field widths in Form view are large enough to display all the information in the field. 3. Check the format of each field that contains text to ensure that it is General or Text formatting. If the format of a Text field is set to a numeric format, such as Currency or Date, the field will be blank when you open the database in Access. 4. When you save in dBASE format (as you will do in step 8), field names will be truncated at 10 characters, so ensure the first 10 characters of each field name are unique. For example, two fields named "Address 1" and "Address 2" would be OK, but "Address Line 1" and "Address Line 2" would not be.
NOTE: If the first 10 characters in two or more fields are the same, these field names will be imported into Access with a default field name, such as Field_1, Field_2, and so on. 5. On the File menu, click Save As. 6. Select a folder to which to save the database. To make the database easy to locate, select the Access folder. 7. Enter a new name, without an extension, in the File Name field.NOTE: When you import a dBASE file that does not follow the MS-DOS 8.3 file name convention (that is, an 8-character name followed by a period (.) and a 3-character extension), you may encounter problems when you try to import the dBASE file into Microsoft Access. Therefore, be sure to create a new file name that does not use more than 8 characters.
For more information, see: 209685 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209685/EN-US/) Could Not Find Object... Error When Importing dBASE, FoxPro, or Paradox File 8. In the Save File As Type list, select dBASE III or dBASE IV, and click Save.
NOTE: If you receive the error message, "Some Field Text Was Truncated," return to step 2 and increase the field width. 9. Quit Works. NOTE: If Works does not add the .dbf extension, resave the file with this extension.
Back to the top To import the database into Access, follow these steps: 1. Start Microsoft Access. 2. In the Microsoft Access dialog box, under "Create a new database using," click to select Blank Access Database, and then click OK. 3. Name the database, and then click Create. 4. In the Database window, under Objects, click Tables, and then click New. 5. In the New Table dialog box, select Import Table from the list, and then click OK. 6. In the Import dialog box, click the arrow in the Look In box, and select the folder that contains the dBASE file that you created in Microsoft Works. Click the arrow in the Files Of Type box, and select either dBASE III or dBASE IV, depending on the format you chose in step 8 of the "Saving the Works Database File" section earlier in this article. 7. Click the database that you want to use, and then click Import. You should receive a message that the file has been successfully imported. Click OK. Then close the Import dialog box.
The Works file has been imported into Access. If you want to view the imported data, select the new table in the Database Window, and click Open. If you want to discard the Works file used to transfer your data into Microsoft Access, delete the file.
