What is OpenOffice.org?
A new approach to office productivity software
OpenOffice.org the product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key
desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing
program, with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible,
OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office,
and the vendor-neutral OpenDocument standard from OASIS.
Freedom of choice
You can of course continue to use your old Microsoft Office files without any problems - and if you need to exchange
files with people still using Microsoft Office, that's no problem either. OpenOffice.org is available for multiple operating
systems and this now includes eComStation and OS/2 as well!
