OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org is the open source equivalent of MS Office. It is a very powerful office suite
including a word processor (Write), a spreadsheet (Calc), a database manager (Base), a
presentation manager (Impress), a drawing program (Draw), and a formula editor for
generating mathematical equations and formulas (Math). Users familiar with the MS Office
family of applications find a very similar application interface and all the functionality to which
they are accustomed. Because OpenOffice.org is capable of importing data from MS Office
applications, the transition from one office suite to the other is very smooth. A Windows
version of OpenOffice.org even exists, enabling Windows users to switch to an open source
alternative while still using Windows. Find more information about OpenOffice.org at
www.openoffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org/) and read our OpenOffice.org chapter for a
short introduction to the office suite.
