Thanks Hagar, David, and smsm, This is helpfull.
Hagar, I don't get many options at all. At the very basic, I can not choose print quality. It's all in "standard" quality which I seldom use. It takes a long time to print. I don't have a 2 side print option. I can not print multiple copies; the option is there but it doesn't do it. It's OK for what I need, just one document a month and that is one page only. But if I were doing lots of trial printing or lots of letter printing I could not do it with OOo.
David, that's intersting in that the only document I need and for which I got OOo is a spread sheet. It's not used as a spreadsheet, though. The person in administration that prepares our schedules (work schedules 6 weeks long) has created an Excel template and puts our schedule on it; basically initialls in a box under a date heading. There's no numbers and no tabulations. All I do with it is add colored background on the boxes with my initials in them.
I don't understand what X11 is, just that I have to have it. Perhaps better that way?
I've not heard of NeoOffice. I should probably try and learn OOo before venturing into another. However, I want to get work out of my computer but really don't want to put work into it. I guess, about computers, I'm sort of like those ninnies on the road that want their car to take them anywhere but don't want to bother learn the rules of the road. Well, I hope I'm not that bad. And i really do appreciate the help you guys have given.
smsm, it sounds like Aqua my answer all my problems.
Thanks all,
