I was playing around in Mandriva and though I’d have a look at the new OO. It feels just like Office 2000. And the top left margin setting is actually changeable, you get more than a pixel of width to hit the “sweet spot”.
Is there anything OO can do that Office cannot?
Can it save in MS’s DOC format (For OLEing into crystal reports 8.5)?
Also, how good is “base”. Is it like a copy of access. If I wanted to connect to it, can this be done thru, say Windows ODBC? Or is it more like a “by me for me” sort of database?
Is there a replacement for “Microsoft Photo Editor”. The newest MSPE sucks but the one that came with Office 2000 is perfect for me, the “Auto fix” and the ability to save to different file formats, crop, change transparencies. Is all I want. Is there an equivalent program for Mandriva to do these simple tasks?
