Thread: I have a very special question about MS Word

As far as I know, OO.o can do everything Word can, and then some. It's what I use personally. There are also a few variants of OpenOffice out there, I think IBM has one that's supposed to have better looks and more features. I read a brief snippet about it in PC World's (or it could have been PC Magazine, not sure) top freeware programs article this month. I'll look it up real quick and see if I can get more info on it.

Edit: Here it is, IBM Lotus Symphony.
