Having openoffice.org on my cv is great, only unless the recruiter knows about it, the box that says Knowledge of word processing simply won't get ticked. Ideal solution would be Ingots assessment, locally in Tor bay, somewhere to then take the exams, etc We live in a must have a qualification society, so I need something, I wonder what learn directs user base is, and what that 3 percent represents, they have perhaps lost 220 + clients, if everyone on the lug looks elsewhere, So long as they can use the argument MS is industry standard, therefore nothing else exists, or is significant, we will face this problem. Despite ISO approval, and openoffice being used world wide, We need an alternative, Rob beard is making great strides over in exwick, and Richard Brown is making progress too, lets hope both centres can offer something.
