"John Gregson": What is the difference between Open Office and Libre office? LibreOffice is actively developed (new features, bug fixes, etc.). OpenOffice is virtually abandoned at this point, as all the qualified developers moved to LibreOffice. --

@Girvin, The important thing is to get the work done; the tool is secondary. I agree with your decision, and you are correct: I once used NeoOffice to construct an entire six-page form (FNMA1004) for real estate appraisals that has a couple of hundred blanks to fill and boxes to check, one page
