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, creating graphics and presentations, or designing scientific formulas.
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. The OpenOffice.org
Novell Edition contains improved functionality and additional features not available with the standard version.
OpenOffice.org Novell Edition
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop includes the OpenOf-
fice.org Novell Edition. This version includes several special
features that are not yet included in the standard edition:
Excel VBA Macro Interoperability:
The OpenOffice.org Novell Edition makes the migration
of many macros from Microsoft Excel easier.
Data Pilots
Data Pilots are interoperable with Microsoft Office Pivot-
Tables*. The OpenOffice.org Novell Edition substantially
improves the Data Pilot feature, making it possible to
edit pilots after creation.
Special Fonts:
Licensed fonts from Agfa* Monotype*, which are metri-
cally identical and visually compatible with some of the
key Microsoft fonts.
EMF+ Support:
The ability to render EMF+ formatted graphics.
SVG Support:
The ability to import scalable vector graphics.
GroupWise® Integration:
The OpenOffice.org Novell Edition includes improved
integration with ODMA (Open Document Management
Architecture) services, for example for GroupWise.
You can also use the OpenOffice.org standard version, rather
than the The Novell Edition. If you install the latest version
of OpenOffice.org, all of your Novell Edition files remain
compatible. However, the standard edition does not contain
the enhancements made in the Novell Edition.
Compatibility
OpenOffice.org can work with documents, spreadsheets,
presentations, and databases in many other formats, includ-
ing Microsoft Office. They can be seamlessly opened like
other files and saved back to the original format. Though
some work has already been invested in interoperability,
occasionally there are still formatting issues. If you have
problems with your documents, consider opening them in
the original application and resaving them in an open format
such as RTF for text documents. In case of migration prob-
lems with spreadsheets however, it is advisable to resave
them as Excel files and use this as intermediate format (with
CSV format you would lose all cell formatting and CVS
sometimes leads to incorrect cell type detection for
spreadsheets).
OpenOffice.org Modules
OpenOffice.org consists of several application modules
(subprograms), which are designed to interact with each
other. All modules feature the same graphical user interface
and similar functionality.
