Use an Open Mind with OpenOffice.org

I was forced into the situation by circumstance. I don't know when I would have gotten around to it otherwise. It was a nightmare in real-time. The family PC had stopped working and a second-string replacement PC was put into service. However, the family PC had Microsoft Office and the replacement PC has OpenOffice.org.

WHAT!
I have things to do, projects to finish, deadlines looming!
I don't have time to learn a new application.

Using an open mind, a fresh outlook, and having no other choice, the most pressing project was finished before the deadline. Overall, it was a pleasant and satisfying experience.

I'm interested in your comments about OpenOffice.org. Please share.
