A new approach to office productivity software

OpenOffice.org 1.0 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 .

If you're used to using other office suites - such as Microsoft 
Office - you'll be completely at home with OpenOffice.org 1.0. In 
fact, you can 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?

WRITER Is a powerful tool for creating professional documents, 
reports, newsletters, and brochures. You can easily integrate images 
and charts in documents, create everything from business letters to 
complete books with professional layouts, as well as create and 
publish Web content.

CALC is a feature-packed spreadsheet which can turn boring numbers 
into eye-catching information. Calculate, analyse, and visually 
communicate your data quickly and easily. Use advanced spreadsheet 
functions and decision-making tools to perform sophisticated data 
analysis. Use built-in charting tools to generate impressive 2D and 
3D charts.

IMPRESS is the fastest, most powerful way to create effective 
multimedia presentations. Your presentations will truly stand out 
with special effects animation and high-impact drawing tools.

DRAW will produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D 
illustrations and special effects.

Database User Tools open up access to your databases.
