Will Textmaker and Open/StarOffice be able to interchange docs in their native formats? I'm a little behind so be nice, I haven't used StarOffice since 5.2 and I haven't tried Textmaker yet. I just a little concerned that developers will try to lock users in by making their formats more complex while reading the other guy's format (not accusing anyone at all, just concerned). Concerning using an Office suite across all Win/*nix platforms, I'm a ripe consumer for the picking right now, especially with the DRM stuff coming in the next MS Office. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Get a taste of Religion ... eat a priest! ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
