compatibility

New to Neo · Guest

I am totally new to NEOoffice and I have a question. Being that I just switching from windows to Mac, having an office application is very important to me. Does NEOoffice allow you to open, modify, and resend Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint?

Thanks in advance!

(In my experience, content is never lost, but there may be some problems with formatting & layout)

If you're a scientific user, however, or a financial person doing lots of VBA macros in Excel, you'll be out of luck. Support for top notch exchange of those is minimal, even from OOo 2.0 X11.
