You are right.

You should definately abandon OOo and use MS Office.

Looks are everything.

Bye Bye

There's a new set of icons and splash images coming to NeoOffice/J in the near future. That'll help with the visual impression.

As for The difference between OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice/J, the former uses the Xserver, which is not able to do anti-aliased fonts, whereas the latter uses Java, which is native to the Mac OS X graphics environment and does fonts a lot better. Plus, the latest versions of NeoOffice/J use the Aqua menus - like a Mac application should.

may i recommend using both proper spelling and grammar in your posts? it makes the attempt sound better.

that being said, yes Word has a much more Mac look to it. If that is worth $400 to you, we aren't here to convert you.
