Yes, it works fine. I've used it for many years. It is a bit slow and has some oddities here and there (I always had problems with Power Point files in Open Office). In general it will do what you need it to. I had used Borland (Word Perfect) Office suite since the early '90's when I got it with a student discount. Then upgraded to Corel Office, then to Open Office, and just this year went to MS Office Enterprise 2007.

I really hate to admit it but, going to MS has really made things much easier. I'd still be using Open Office today except I could not pass up the Home Use Program offered by MS and my employer. This Home Use Program gave me the complete suite for $20, so I've converted.
