(Donationware) (open source: dual LPGL & SISSL license)
Windows OS: Windows
Other OS: Mac OS X; Linux; Unix
Languages: English and many other languages (support for complex text
layout (CTL) languages (such as Thai; Hindi; Arabic; and Hebrew) and

Description: With OpenOffice.org 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. If you're used to using other office suites - you'll be
completely at home with OpenOffice.org 1.1. You can continue to use
your old Microsoft Office files and if you need to exchange files with
people still using Microsoft Office, that's no problem either.
Components: 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 spreadsheet which can
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 creates multimedia
presentations which 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.
The Database User Tools give you all the tools you need for day to day
database work in a simple spreadsheet-like form. They support dBASE
databases for simple applications, or any ODBC or JDBC compliant
database for industrial strength database work.
