It doesn't seem to be compatible with Office 2003 from what we've seen. As a standalone system, it might be ok, but we have time sheets sent in electronically from the sites, and they use a form designed on Word in Office 2003. Only problem is, one of our guys has a laptop which had the trial version of Office on it and was sending ok, but now that has ended he tried using the Works word processor and it wouldn't have it. He downloaded the Open Office to try it, but that won't work either
So now we're looking at editable PDF's to make it easier for them.
Depends if you want to send/share files - like I said, it's not compatible with Office (or at least, it's not for us). If the files you create are just for your own use, it might well be worth giving it a go.
