Great software - now better than ever
When OpenOffice.org 1.0 was released, no one could believe that
software this good could be free. An estimated 16 million+ people
have downloaded the software; many more have installed it from CDs or
were passed copies by enthusiastic users. Community members produced
translations in over 30 languages.
The OpenOffice.org community listened to users' comments, fixed
their bugs, and is now proud to announce OpenOffice.org 1.1. More
powerful, more compatible, more international, more accessible, more
open than ever1 - and best of all, this world class
software is still free!
A new approach to office productivity software
OpenOffice.org 1.1 gives you everything you'd expect in office
software. You can create dynamic documents, analyse data, design
eye-catching presentations, produce dramatic illustrations, and open
up your databases. You can publish your work in Portable Document
Format (.pdf), and release your graphics in Flash (.swf) format -
without needing any additional software. OpenOffice.org 1.1 is now
available for more users than ever, with support for complex text
layout (CTL) languages (such as Thai, Hindi, Arabic, and Hebrew) and
vertical writing languages.
If you're used to using other office suites - such as Microsoft
Office - you'll be completely at home with OpenOffice.org 1.1.
However, as you become used to OpenOffice.org 1.1, you'll start to
appreciate the extras that make your life easier. 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.
What's in the suite?

documents, reports, newsletters, and brochures. You can easily
