Thinking about switching
davidnix71:
If you open the doc in Hexedit or HexeditFAT, you should be able to read the header and know what version of Word it was created in.
If it has a damaged header, then it may not open properly in any program. But, with OO, you can force select a template when you open a doc,
if you think it's not what it was labeled.

FWIW, I didn't get the job. And I was grossly over-qualified for it. :(

Update: this is becoming more of an issue. I've been working on editing some documents these past few weeks - Word docs and PowerPoint shows. None of them have any weird formatting bullshit, or incompatible features. I save often, so I'm not losing any data. But every couple days, OpenOffice trys to update some French thesaurus and crashes. I think the Mac version is Java, and the whole runtime takes a dirtnap. 6 times in the past 2 weeks. The only other Java programs I have, Editra and Azureus/Vuze don't seem to have any problems. OpenOffice has been acceptable when it is working - but that is sadly not very often.
So I have arrived at a point where I have to seriously consider Microsoft Office. Again.
Lead Head:
Any possible way of uninstalling this french thesaurus component?

Not that I can find.
