tweaknews.net — Thankfully, computer users can now enjoy the benefits of having free software that is actually far superior and useful to many of the products available for a hefty price in the retail market . For example, AVG Free Edition and ditto for OpenOffice.

How does one put a line break in cell in Calc?

Of course it doesn't take much to write a report. I was thinking more about Outlook with Exchange in the corporate world. Yes that is only 1/5th or so of MS Office, but it is probably the most used.

I don't think AVG Free is really comparable to OpenOffice:1) AVG Free is not freeware, it's proprietary crippleware designed to promote the paid version2) OpenOffice is comparable to MS Office for the things most people want to do (yes, MS Office still has some features OOo doesn't but very few need them), whereas AVG (free or paid) gets beaten into the ground by Nod32 and Kaspersky

'Unless something drastic changes in MS Office, it will be a long time before there is a need for OpenOffice.'What, you mean like a completely new user interface that will require retraining, and a completely new file format which is incompatible with older versions of Office?

'For others, it is mail merge. This function is used by many small businesses. But, last I checked, it was not part of OOo.'Yes it is.
