MS office vs open office

[freedom07]

my laptop came with a trial version of MS office 07. I am in school, and use a lot of Word for school. When i am not at school i save a lot of information to a thumb drive, so i can continue the work on my laptop. Can i move documents back and forth from word and open office without loosing work, or data corruption?

Yes, recent versions of Open Office recognize and can save in the Word 2007 .docx format.

Yes.

Since you are a Student you should inquire at the bookstore about a full copy of Office 2010...the discounts for Students are substantial and should be taken advantage of whenever possible....matter of fact grab Win 7 as well and save it for your next upgrade.....

what about power point, and excel. They will also work the same with open office. I didn't think to ask about that as well, i do apologize. and i didnt know about the student discount. i will have to look into that as well. Thank you
