Hello to all :)
I have a desire to stop using Star Office to fill out some forms I use for work to close calls/order Parts/Timecard.... Star Office is so extremely slow, it is a burden at often times, and I would like to keep it just for opening a occasional M$ Office document, not for everyday use. The forms are to be faxed in, so format is not a issue.
Basically all I need, once it is set up, is to tab to a few designated fields, fill in the blanks, choose from a couple drop down menu's for trouble codes, and check a few boxes for other options. This is to make it compatable with the M$ doc form my company sent me to do these tasks. It took quite awhile to get it setup in Star Office (I opted to use a database to track parts) and I am not happy with the results. Takes longer to open Star Office and then the form than it takes to fill it out.
I have tried Abiword, and it is missing several features I need. Hopefully later :)
Thanks for any input on this subject.
