Quote - Does Open Office have anything like Outlook for managing contacts, emails, calendars, notes & To do tasks? Outlook is the only part of Office that I use daily.

I don't really know.  I use the word processor and spreadsheet capabilities.  So basically the draw is the all-in-one style suite with a personal information manager?

I never really dug on Outlook.  I use Thunderbird for emails and contacts and I know it has Calendar style plugins.

However, for personal notes and organization I have been using Keynote NF, which allows you to define everything in a treeview.  I keep personal notes, product information, store submission guidelines and so on and I can create my own categories, sub-items and so on.

So I guess all I am doing is putting my own "suite" together and I gravitate towards portable apps and those that I can unzip into a folder to segregate it from "Program Files" type installs.

Edit: OneNote and Keynote NF sound similar in functionality.  I know it can handle inserting pictures and OLE objects.
