I downloaded StarOffice a few months ago and I have been disappointed. I=20
guess I shouldn't look a "gift horse" in the mouth, but I had expected it=20
to be truly MS compatible. I find that it has some annoying little=20
incompatibilities that cause the formatting to get messed up when opening=20
documents created by MS Word. Also, a friend of mine also tells me that=20
it's equation editor is not compatible with MS's.

Have you also found this to be the case?
