-Replacing FrameMaker with OOo Writer
-</H2>
-<P>"I began comparing FrameMaker and Writer when a regular on
-the OpenOffice.org User's list asked what it would take to give
-Writer the power of FrameMaker. When I started, I mentally pictured a
-scale with Microsoft Word on one end and FrameMaker on another, with
-Writer in the middle, but closer to Microsoft Word. As I proceeded, I
-found Writer was a much stronger contender than I had expected. At
-the end of the comparison, I had to conclude that the two products
-compare quite closely, depending on what features are more important
-to a given user."

-OpenOffice is a workable and flexible alternative to Microsoft Office</H2>
-<P>"All this by way of introduction to my pitch for
-OpenOffice.org, an open-source software suite that at best is a lot
-more program than Works and at worst only a little less functional
-than Microsoft Office.</P>
-<P>OpenOffice.org, which was popularized as Star Office from Sun
-Microsystems, is more than adequate for perhaps 95 percent of users.
-Most interestingly, it is the only free Office-style program that
-runs on both Windows and Linux, as well as the Macintosh, and its
-files are mostly (more on that later) compatible with Microsoft
-Office. You can buy Sun's version, which includes product support,
-for $79."</P>
-<P>"Problems with Word are usually pretty simple to fix, but
-complex formulas in Excel occasionally generate outright spurious
-results. Setting up a mail list in OO isn't as bonehead simple as it
-is with Works. A fair number of users would like to see an integrated
-e-mail program and personal information manager, a la Outlook.</P>
-<P>But the price is right, and the program is more than adequate for
-casual users. If you're doing anything complicated, evaluate the
-program yourself."</P>

-made an offer to Philipped Schil, the Paris mayoral authorities'
-director of information technology and systems – an offer
-cutting licence prices by around 60 per cent for the local
