I'm using the 2.0 beta and now I can finally open this 90page
internal Word document that I have to *constantly* refer to at work.
It used to be that the only way I could open it (I don't
have Word) was with the Word97Viewer, or with a word processor
I have on my Palm Pilot (eek!). For some reason, this document
would CRASH every version of OpenOffice1.x that I've ever fed
it to. OpenOffice2.x handled it rather well, but not perfectly..
Still, bravo to them on the beta so far..
The OOo program itself looks MUCH nicer than 1.x did, but
still looks like the UI theme that M$FT was doing 3 years ago.
Which is fine, I guess.
