![]() When I first started the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog, one of the first projects I spent a lot of time working on to describe the blog posts was Developing a Script Taxonomy. Because of this, the structure of all my blog posts is relatively consistent. I use Windows PowerShell to create all of my individual Microsoft Word documents, based on a template that my editor, Dia Reeves, created for me. When your data is consistent, you have a fighting chance of solving a particular issue. ![]() But because I use Windows PowerShell so much to do so many things, I am at least consistent. It seems like I am not very good at anticipating future needs-at least exact needs. I am making a couple of presentations, as are a couple of Microsoft premier field engineers, and even a Microsoft Windows PowerShell MVP. We are running three tracks (Beginner, Applied, and Advanced), so there is sure to be something there for everyone. At this point, there are still plenty of tickets available, but the last PowerShell Saturday sold out in 13 days, so you will want to register quickly for this event to ensure you have a place. The registration site for Charlotte, North Carolina PowerShell Saturday is open. Now for the second piece of exciting news.

That being said, it’s relatively inexpensive compared to Microsoft Office. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, it’s not free– it comes as part of iWork, which includes, among other things, the excellent Keynote presentation software. Pages is Apple’s answer to Microsoft Word, although it can take some getting used to if you’ve used Word all your life. LibreOffice offers six different office management tools to meet your project management needs: Text Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Drawing, Database, and Formula. Mostly importantly, however, it opens Word documents. Like OpenOffice, LibreOffice boasts a comprehensive set of office management tools arguably on par with Microsoft Office itself. OpenOffice is a multi-platform and multilingual office suite that is compatible with all other major office suites (meaning it will open and edit Word, Powerpoint documents etc). ![]()
