I have it at work, even though we don't USE 2007.

I use Open Office at home.

Thx!

Ah, Duper ... you don't have to use 2007. Just one of those versions before that. The compatibility package just gives the older Office versions that ability to work with the newer Office 2007 file formats.

Yes, Open Orifice is a good Office alternative.

I needed it when I was taking a class in Word 07. We use 03 at work. 07 was actually pretty nice once I got used to the layout.
