SWx and MS Office
SWx and MS Office
(OP)
I don't have much issue with this at work, since whe have access to the MS Office package, but at home I don't. I use OpenOffice, because I think it's great and it's free...
However, Last night, I was called upon to use a design table in a part file, and of course, I could not.
(now to my question)...
does anyone know a way to "work around" MS Office (get solidworks to recognize other text / spreadsheet programs... or does anyone know when solidworks will get out of bed with MS!

RE: SWx and MS Office
Other software can be "tricked" into using OpenOffice in lieu of MS Office, but I can't seem to figure out how to get SWx to be fooled! - WHY has SWx sold it's soul to Bill Gates? Shoot - you can't even use Mozilla to interface w/ the swx website... seems a little sketchy to me...
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated!

RE: SWx and MS Office
SW hasn't "sold its soul", it's just catering to the larger market. A sound business practice which most companies have adopted. MS Office is the de-facto standard & most used office software. Having said that, I too would like to see SW be able to run on alternative OS's.
