The OpenOffice.org Office Suite
OpenOffice.org is a powerful open-source office suite that provides tools for all types of office
tasks, such as writing texts, working with spreadsheets, or creating graphics and presentations. With
OpenOffice.org, you can use the same data across different computing platforms. You can also open
and edit files in other formats, including Microsoft Office, then save them back to this format, if
needed. This chapter covers information about the Novell
®
edition of OpenOffice.org and some of
the key features you should be aware of when getting started with the suite.
