OpenOffice.org Applications

With OpenOffice.org, you can create documents in formats based on open standards, such as OpenDocument, Rich Text Format, and HTML. If necessary, you can also read, edit, and write documents in Microsoft Office formats, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with a high degree of compatibility. You can also export files in PDF format without the need of additional software.

The OpenOffice.org suite is also available without cost for other Linux distributions, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X under X11. This makes it possible to publish documents which are compatible across many different computer platforms.
