Info. on Open Office

[Lewiy]

Personally, I find it much easier and more straight forward to just have the one on the go at a time. I have just upgraded to 2007 on both my home desktop and laptop and we run 2003 at work. I'm grateful for having used the older versions and subsequently learned the main differences between them, but I can't much see the point of running an older version than your colleagues/customers and I think most people by now have at least 2003 (except perhaps a select few offices that are still running 2000). I may be wrong, but I don't come across that many.
On a slight aside (without meaning to tread on Greg's feet with regard to thread diversion!), having just done the 2007 upgrade and not played with it much, I am trying to decide which application looks the most different to it's predecessor. I'm torn between Word and Excel..........any thoughts?
Oh, and what on Earth is MS Office Groove 2007????!!!!!

And quit making me thing I *accidentally* misspelled a word!

The link is for addicting as a verb, not an adjective... (Still can't think of a way it could be used - is it an American thing?)

'tis MrExcel that's addicting.

I think in this sense as an adjective it would be:

'tis MrExcel that's addictive

 

[cornflakegirl]

Well, I just googled it, and apparently it's fine to use addicting as a participle adjective (like annoying).

Still sounds stoopid though

 

[Greg Truby]

Aye, "addictive" would have been the better choice, though "addicting" is still legal.

Can someone please notify Bryony that she has now finished out of the medals altogether and Emma will replace her on the podium? However the UK is still making a clean sweep of it.

I'm not a pedant. If I were, I would have commented on Dom's errant apostrophe on the last page...

I get so much humor fromt his board, it just makes my day that much better. Hopefully this pedant olympics isn't any consolation of what the real olympics will be like.

Greg,

So did you accidentally misspell "think" as "thing", or were you just trying to be funny and misspell a word in a sentence defending yourself against misspelling words?

If you misspelled it, how deliciously ironic is that?
