Hello, About the only thing I am using Windows for these days is also scanning and OCR. But I have to maintain compatibility with the rest of the office, so I can't get rid of Windows for now. I'm wondering if anyone is using Star-Office and how accessible it is. Can it read Microsoft Word files? I must have that capability, even if we go to Linux completely. Thanks.
