Moderators rridgely Posted February 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2010 I just downloaded it and was pretty impressed with their servers. I was getting 2.2mb/sec the whole download. It seemed to open my word files fine(they are just term papers, so pretty simple formatting), but the powerpoint presentation I just made that uses some of the new features of 2007(smart art, and some customized shapes) failed miserably. It couldn't render the template, the shape, or the smart art chart. I cant imagine it does much better with highly customized excell files. But for just word it seems ok, at least for my needs.

marmite Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 ... the powerpoint presentation I just made that uses some of the new features of 2007(smart art, and some customized shapes) failed miserably. Interesting to know; the article mentioned buggy Excel, but not PPP. The words " But the really big news is that now - finally - this open-source suite offers full compatibility with files created using Microsoft's Office 2007" seem to fall somewhat short of reality!

Moderators Andavari Posted February 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2010 I wonder how it works with rather complex (not simple) Microsoft Word .DOC files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm trying it out now, and I was pleasantly surprised with the speed. Loads even faster than Office 2010 Beta for me! I'm really liking it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
