n8chavez Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 It would be really nice if CCleaner was able to ckean the histories of Ability Office (www.ability.com) I don't really want it to have a record of the most recently worked on documents.

bpm3k Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I think i would use Open Office before Ability. Unless there is something I am missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Twistedmetal could add it to winapp2.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8chavez Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I think i would use Open Office before Ability.? Unless there is something I am missing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've tried everything from Wordperferct Office 12, Openoffice.org 1.4 (and beta 2.0), ever M$ Word. But I have never seen an office suite that can do so much while still being incredably small in size (22 MB to download and 50 MB installed) Ability Office does everything I need it to without using the resources of Openoffice.org. It has a word processor, spreadsheet app, presentation at, photo editor, drawing app, and a data base app. All of which natively supports M$ products and with no further configuration (instead of OO's proprietary format). I have never had a problem with compatability, as I have with OO. There were a couple of things that bothered me about OO: 1. OO/Staroffice changed the install procedure in 2.0 ( and staroffice) and now takes a lot longer to install. 2. It uses a lot of resources (RAM) 3. There is no grammar checker; I am a graduate student at Arizona State and I need a grammar checker. Mainly I need it for the ocassional repetative word that I just can't see. OO doesn't have one. 4. Ability allows me to change spelling errors via a right-click contex menu, OO does not. That's why I prefer Ability to OO. I found it for $20 on ebay. Yes, I know: freeware vs shareware but it's worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
