    And lastly, there's a button for mapping buttons to other buttons. Simply hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and F12 while simultaneously holding the Button Mapping button and the combination of keystrokes and buttons to be mapped. It's quick and easy! #openofficemouse

    @OMG! Ponies!: I don't know if you are too old to remember college or too young to have gone there....the pirating crowd which I would assume is vastly in the 18-24 category (total assumption but I think you can see where I am coming from) doesn't have $100 just to buy Office.

    I do see what you are saying though. If I was an older person making a salary income then I would swallow $100 a little easier.

    That being said, personally I use Outlook more than all the other Office suites combines (phone synch when I had BJII, e-mail, contact, ect.) Obviously OO cannot offer that and Outlook doesn't come with the $100 version you are talking about so I enjoy my enterprise addition.

    @ThisIsSharksTerriroty: I remember college well. I remember that I got college discounts and regularly called my folks for money. Especially for necessary expenses like a word-processing program.


    For students, Office Home is less than $70. And 5 anytime minutes for the phone call home to hit Mom up for money.
