Likewise! I had not expected to find myself fond of an office package, but it's actually turned out to be a program I use at least in some capacity every few days, and it is generally essential when I do.

Not just for viewing content from others either; particularly the drawing and presentation modules are quite good for when I need to cook up clean diagrams or explanations of technical material. It takes less time and produces much better-looking output (esp. the PDFs) than what I can crank out with any alternatives.

It's an exemplary piece of free sw. Congratulations and kudos to the team.

I too totally agree with these sentiments!  Thank goodness for the OO developers!  It is a
life-saver package for those of us using Linux in the office place and I also enjoy using it
at home.  Just the task of getting OO to work so well with Microsoft Office formats must be
quite daunting and a never-ending job and I am amazed at how successful they have been.
