OpenOffice vs Microsoft Office: Scatter Plot

The major problem is no easy way to select two columns for x and y data. It's charting function just sucked. However there is a separate OpenOffice chart project with way better chart function.

Update: OpenOffice 2.3 is out. It has better Chart options. See posts
