Expo Notes: Araxis Merge adds to its file-comparison bag of tricks
,----[ Quote ]
| At this year's Expo, Araxis Merge was back, and with a nifty addition to its
| bag of tricks: it can now automatically extract and compare text from Word,
| Excel, PDF, and Open Document Format documents. Just open these files
| directly in Araxis Merge, and the program will extract and compare the text
| within the files.

Four alternatives to Microsoft Office
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Office is so common that very few computer users are even aware
| that there are many good, and often free, alternatives to the software. Here
| are four of the better alternatives.
|
| OpenOffice.org
|
| This has to be the number one alternative to Microsoft Office. The open
| source productivity tool includes all of the features offered by MS Office
| but for free. Version 3.0 of OpenOffice was released earlier this year and it
| includes full compatibility with documents created in Microsoft Office, the
| biggest stumbling block to switching to a new office suite.
