I'm afraid the owners are going to scuttle my migration to OO, even though I have shown a $10K savings. The rest of the users are doing OK with the switch. She even came in to work early the other day because she was behind on some commission spreadsheets due the switch to OO. She has been pulling her hair out over what would seem to be a couple of trivial details. I recently switched our power user, who is open-minded and a quick study.
I am migrating our small business (25 users) to OO from MS. (at least we haven't bought a NEW version of Office - and have no plans to - just reinstalled the ol' 2000 version) I know it's mostly not OO's fault (except for the graphic-eating bug), and their word processor and presentation software is much easier to use (IMHO) than M$'s bizarre shite, but until EVERBODY stops using M$, I'm stuck with it. So that's my sad story of trying to convert an office to OO. Base has never been up to the tasks we throw at it, or compatible enough to replace Access. Powerpoint went back on his and my machines. WHAT A MESS! Every slide had to be redone. He worked all day, built this file in Presenter (or whatever it's called), unfortunately he saved it in ppt format instead of the native format. I reported the error and got a message back from the coder that this bug would be fixed in the next release - and that my report was one of hundreds.

Writer (00 v.2) ate ALL the graphics in the entire manual and went on to balls-up the fonts and formatting.

Then I had to update a manual written in Word. I just can't afford all that wasted paper. First, it was trying to print Excel files from Calc. I had been trying to do that for 5 years, but he did it in one email. I was overjoyed about a year ago when the word came down from our new CEO that we should try to wean ourselves off M$ Office. (in)Compatibility with MS Ofice has been the deal breaker for OO at my workplace.
