[Sushubh]

hehe. i guess you can just download libreoffice and stay cool?

Yeah! It's a chindi file. BTW I need to edit the files too. That's just Viewer.Actually the work is related to some serious transcription,transliteration and you know SME (Subject Matter Expert) type.We need some solid alternative to MS Office, it's high time. Google are you listening?

 

[Sushubh]

mmm. google docs is more powerful than ever before. what else!

 

[Jonas]

Duh! Offline utilities.

 

[Sushubh]

they are working on bringing back support for offline docs.

 

[Jonas]

Finally! Some good news.

 

[Sushubh]

it would still run inside browser. and would still require internet connectivity. offline support comes handy if the service goes down while you are working on the thing.

I used to work on Ms Word and Ms Excel(Pirated Versions) more like an advanced user .So, right now, it's sort of a big issue switching to online editors. Well, to be really honest, I still feel MS Office worth the price, as no alternative is available, I am just gonna save to upgrade as soon as possible.

 

[Sushubh]

i hope you check out libreoffice before you do that!

I am seriously pissed off right now.From past one hour I was trying to create a drop down list,gone insane trying to locate data formatting option.Turns out that it is not available in the Starter edition :angry (2):
