OpenOffice.org is the open source project through which Sun Microsystems has released the technology for the popular StarOffice[tm] Productivity Suite. All of the source code is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Sun is participating as a member of the OpenOffice.org community. OpenOffice.org is being hosted by CollabNet.

Download and expand the tarball. Then, as root, issue this command from within the "install" directory:

Open Office is an office suite similar to Microsoft Office. It is an alternative to MS Office for someone on a very tight budget. Some of our Legacy Series reports are available in an Open Office version. Open Office does not support Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Most of our reports are written in VBA so they will not run under Open Office. If you have Microsoft Office, we do not recommend that you install OpenOffice.

OpenOffice 1.x and 2.0.x do not build on 64-bit systems, so you have to use the 32-bit binary version, available in portage as openoffice-bin.

OpenOffice.org represents open sources, open language-independent APIs, open XML-based file formats, and open access. In the short run, these benefits affect source code developers, especially those in the open source community. In the long run, OpenOffice.org will also provide value for API and macro developers and of course, the end-user community, which will enjoy the benefit of new innovation and applications.

With each new install of the client, you are given a new node ID. Each time you re-install the client, you will have another node ID. When you reinstall - just copy that file to the same directory it was before and you will not have to add another node to your stats. No. If you stop a run before you have completed all the conformers for a candidate, the docking will be aborted.

The OpenOffice.org community was founded to create the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format. The Community was established in Oct 2000 with Sun's donation of the StarOffice 5.2 source code. Top

Anyone can join the OpenOffice.org community by simply registering here. Once you have registered, you may join particular projects, file issues, bugs, patches, or comment on already filed issues. If you want to be informed of future announcements to make sure you don't miss out send an email to: announce-subscribe@openoffice.org. Top

If the CSV file has values for the date, description, amount and account of a transaction, then it's possible a simple 'awk' script might work to convert the CSV file into QIF. Let's say the CSV file "statement.csv" has the columns ( date,description,amount), as in: 2006-09-27,ONLINE BILL PAYMENT: Bank of Example 123938568,250.00 such, the following shell script using awk will emit a suitable QIF: $ ( echo '!Type:Bank'; cat statement.

When we started the NeoOffice project, our primary reason for being separate was that we did not like OpenOffice.org's SISSL license. However, now that the NeoOffice project has been active for a few years, license issues are no longer the primary reason that keeps us separate. The primary reason that we stay separate is that we can develop, release, and support a native Mac OS X office suite with much less time and money than we could if we worked within the OpenOffice.org project.

Yes, the OpenOffice.org bean (OOBean) project enables the use of OpenOffice.org components in Java applications. Please visit OOoBean for information, source code, and binary downloads. The project is just starting, so please be aware there may be bugs, incomplete documentation, install problems, etc. We would like everyone with interest in OpenOffice.org and Java to contribute to this project, or just use the bean in their Java application.

Here's some sample code for that: sub SaveXML dim mProps(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue mProps(0).Name = "FilterName" 'This works with 614 mProps(0).Value = "swriter: StarOffice XML (Writer)" oDesk = createUNOService("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop") 'For some reason, ActiveComponent no longer works: oComponent = oDesk.CurrentComponent() oComponent.storeAsUrl("file:///C|/Tmp/startemp.xml",_ mProps()) end sub

A brief overview about the project OpenOffice.org - Bonobo Integration can be found at http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/bonobo/. Something about motivation and goals of this project is written there. We have checked in some code into CVS, enabling OpenOffice.org to be a Bonobo server for containers like Nautilus. Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas or code, on how to bring OpenOffice.org and GNOME closer together on the level of component technology.

Enhanced compatibility and interoperability resulting from open, language-independent APIs, open XML-based file formats, and a common reference implementation The ability for developers can take the technology in new and innovative directions and into new markets

OpenOffice.org components include word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, a database, and file conversion facilities (including those for Microsoft Office formats). See our Features page for more information.
