THING #18

As far as the online productivity tools are concerned, they do have their advantages especially when it comes to allowing access to documents, spread sheets, and other productivity tools to others without e-mails and attachments. Other advantages included the fact that the platforms are free! That is always a plus. The problem with Microsoft platforms is that there are old and new versions which are not compatible with other platforms. However, in working with OpenOffice.org I could not find a usable tutorial. In working with Google Docs. I did find a tutorial which was useful in explaining how the platforms worked. Also the GoogleDocs. was much easier to use and had a format which was much like the formats we are all used to on the traditional Microsoft platforms. If anyone knows about an OpenOffice tutorial, I would be interested as I could not figure out the Presentation section at all.
