Hello everybody,
I have a (presumably very stupid ) question. If I downloaded a Version of OpenOffice software (I already have MS Office 3), would it interfere with my MS Office 3 and make problems, or could I use both, f.i. I would use the OpenOffice spell checker (my MS Office3 doesn't offer one for my language), otherwise I would use the MS Office things?
Or should I rather let the OpenOfice download be and try to find a spell checker elsewhere?
Thanks! And don't laugh at me, please.

Openoffice will not interfere with MS office. Just make sure that when you use openoffice you save your files as ms office formats(.doc, .ppt, ect.)

What language do you need for ms office? Also do you mean office 2003?

Thank you for your reply. The language is Slovenian - and yes, I meant MS Office 2003. So you say that it is safe to download the OpenOffice?
Thanks.
