Hi!
I need an Office Suite which can display MS documents exactly as they would look in MS Office. My father receives this stuff for his business and it HAS to be 100% compatible. I had to re-organise one whole document for him once because OpenOffice messed up the layout.
I also caught Evolution showing some e-mails incorrectly (or could my settings be incorrect?)
My questions:
Is there some alternative to OpenOffice which DOES show MS documents 100% correct? Or is OpenOffice really the best?
And what about Mozilla Thunderbird as replacement for Evolution?
I'm now working on a Windows machine but I'd like to have Linux back. The only way I can do that is to make absolutely sure my father can do his business absolutely undisturbed.
offtopic:
this is really one disadvantage for Linux... if only the smallest thing won't work perfectly people won't make the switch because 'Windows does it better'.
