OpenOffice

[bdecker]

My company has decided to replace Microsoft Office with OpenOffice. I want stay with Excel so I need some ammunition on the differences between OpenOffice Calc and Excel. I have 2007 and seems Calc is similar to Excel 2003, but I need to be able to state emphatically the difference between the apps and why I need to stay on Excel. The IT guys tend to be difficult to persuade. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

A good general discussion. Thanks.

More like a sales pitch! That's on the Microsoft site, so I expect it is going to be heavily biased.

I would recommend checking out discussions on user forums or pc magazines. Here is one that also has some other links at the bottom: http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/software/page4765.cfm
