Introduction:

Many of us struggle getting by on parts of MS Office, rather than the full suite.
Why?
When there's a free alternative in in OpenOffice.

OpenOffice.org 2 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

Great Software requires great people. OpenOffice.org 2 is the result of over twenty years' continuous high quality software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, OpenOffice.org 2 has a consistency and a quality that is world class. Its open-source development model means there are no secrets.

Been using OpenOffice.org since it was v1.0 at home. Stopped using any other office suite on my home PC when it turned 1.1. Really liking 2.4 and looking forward to 3.0 later this year.

Truth be told, MS Word never cut it for me and I still kinda miss classic WordPerfect (DOS)... the reveal codes was an incredible feature. Has not been the same since Novell and then Corel purchased it. Here is to hoping OpenOffice.org will do something like the reveal codes possibly with XML tags in some advanced editing mode in Writer.

I was initially intending on doing a brief intro of my own.
However just a quick visit to their site shows they have pretty much everything covered.
Fairly straight forward, clear & concise.
How could I dare to compete with that.

OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 was released a few days ago... Have not had a chance to play around with it or review what was fixed, but thought I should post to inform the possible users of it here.

Yeah, I caught that late and forgot to delete.,,, I guess you can consider this a bump hit then.

I needed to open a spreadsheet and did not have the right program, so open office 3 download was nice and easy.
