Overview

OpenOffice is a fully-featured office suite compatible with leading office products. It was the first product to deliver the benefits of open-source software to mass-market users, delivering essential everyday software tools.

Tonight we will present an overview of each component of the Suite, including:

Writer – OpenOffice’s word processor

Calc – a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to calculate, analyse, summarise, and present your data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics.

Impress – 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 – this will allow you to produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects.

Base (New to Version 2) enables you to manipulate database data seamlessly within OpenOffice. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, either using your own database or Base’s own built-in HSQL database engine.
