The one real concern they had was if it could open .docx and pdf files. Now that day has come!

Installed OOo 3.0 today. No problems so far. the PTs in my excel 2000 files still look naff in datapilot – but at least they are translated now.

Roll on a browser based version of the PT.

Macros is another example as Excel Macros are not supported by OOo. I understand these people staying with Excel but would encourage that where ever they can, from SP2, they save in OpenDocument Format. Now the question is if you create a speadsheet with pivot tables in Excel and save as .ods will it support the pivot table? Hi Martyn
