Literally today, the English version of OpenOffice.org 2.2.0 for Windows became available for download: OOo_2.2.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe ,
mirror No. 1 , mirror No. 2 (108.6Mb).
OpenOffice.org is a multi-platform project. Versions for Linux, MacOS and other operating systems and languages can be downloaded from the special site download.openoffice.orgThe appearance of the Russian version of OpenOffice.org 2.2.0 will be announced separately in HabraWare.
Practice shows that often in the work there is no need to use multifunctional office suites. Sometimes a good text editor like AbiWord is enough . It will not replace the entire MS Office or even MS Word, but if you only need to open, edit and format the most complex text documents at times, AbiWord can be a real free alternative.
For those who are looking to the future, I will not forget to mention online services that are predicted to become killers of traditional office suites. One of the contenders for the crown - Google Docs & Spreadsheets, a prototype of an office suite that works from a browser, which only recently came out of Google Labs , but has already earned a lot of flattering assessments and forecasts.
- Writer . A word processor and visual HTML editor. An analogue of MS Word.
- Calc . Table processor, an analogue of MS Excel.
- Draw . Vector graphics editor. It has a number of functions similar to CorelDRAW.
- Impress . Presentation preparation program. An analogue of MS Powerpoint.
- Base . The mechanism for connecting to external DBMSs and the built-in DBMS HSQLDB. Analogue MS Access.
- Math . Math editor like MS Equation Editor.
