"OpenOffice.org 2.0 - word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation tool and more"

New! OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta 2

 When OpenOffice.org 1.0 was released, no one could believe that software this good could be free. An estimated 16 million+ people have downloaded the software; many more have installed it from CDs or were passed copies by enthusiastic users. Community members produced translations in over 30 languages.

OpenOffice.org 2.0 is an open, feature-rich multi-platform office productivity suite. The user interface and the functionality is very similar to other products in the market like Microsoft Office or Lotus SmartSuite, but in contrast to these commercial products OpenOffice.org is absolutely free.

OpenOffice.org is a free multi-platform (Windows, Solaris, Linux) and multi-language office suite. It's compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.

OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta 2 represents a significant advancement. It is ready now, and the OpenOffice.org community is asking you to download it, test, and file bug reports. To learn why 2.0 represents the future of productivity suite technology, read the OpenOffice.org Features page.

Some New Feautures

Native Desktop Integration
The OpenOffice.org 2.0 applications integrate nicely into the desktop environment. Thus, OpenOffice.org looks and behaves like any other application on a given platform. On Windows XP it looks like a Windows application, and on Linux it uses the same UI widgets as GIMP or Evolution.

New Multi-pane View
The new Multi-pane view increases the productivity and usability of OpenOffice.org. The Multi-pane view provides all important tools and windows through one coherent, integrated, and simple user interface. Former Microsoft PowerPoint users should find OpenOffice.org 2.0 easy to use.

Enhanced PDF Export
OpenOffice.org 1.1 introduced the PDF export feature. Version 2.0 now extends the basic export feature. With the new version it is possible to define the compression levels of embedded images. In addition, the PDF support now correctly handles thumbnail images and hyperlinks.

Mail Merge Wizard
The new Mail Merge Wizard makes it very easy to do mailings to hundreds of recipients. The wizard guides users step by step through the process. Various data sources can be used for the address information.

OpenOffice.org is a community that comes together to develop, support, and promote the use of this free office suite.

  • Hello. I'm surfing to find blogs that have a connection to internet business. Enjoyed your Blog. With all the Hurricane relief efforts, there are a number of very good organizations that are having a tough time getting their message out, organizations that do great work and are worth checking out.
    Step13 is an organization that helps those with drug and alcohol dependency problems. It's local but has potential as a model for other places.
    Rainbow Rewards is a community based shopping rewards system, local also. We'd likewise love to have you stop by our new site about starting your
