OpenOffice: A Free And Powerful Alternative To
Microsoft Office
"OpenOffice.org is a free and open source office suite, including a word processor,
spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. It is available
for many different platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Unix-like systems with the
X Window System including GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. It is intended to
be compatible with, and compete with, Microsoft Office, it supports the
OpenDocument standard for data interchange, and can be used at no cost." From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"OpenOffice.org is both an Open Source product and a project. The product is a multi-
platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a
word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program, with a
user interface and feature set similar to other office suites’. Sophisticated and
flexible, OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats,
including those of Microsoft Office.
Available in 25 languages with more being constantly added by the community.
OpenOffice.org runs stably and natively on Solaris, Linux (including PPC Linux), and
Windows. Additional ports, such as for FreeBSD, IRIX, and Mac OS X, are in various
stages of completion.
Written in C++ and with documented APIs licensed under the LGPL and SISSL Open
Source licenses, OpenOffice.org allows any knowledgeable developer to benefit
from the source. And, because the file format for OpenOffice.org is XML,
interoperability is easy, making future development and adoption more certain.
