OpenOffice Premium

I haven't been tracking OpenOffice recently because I need to exchange Word documents with others and, well, the only program compatible is...now...wait...for...it...Microsoft Word. Likewise, I also need to exchange WordPerfect files, which have their own special idiosyncrasies.

So, I was a little surprised that there is now something called OpenOffice Premium. No, they aren't going MS on you. The price is still free, as in something we used to call speech. But added into the regular version are, among other things:

  • Clip Art (currently more than 2,800 objects)
  • Templates (number varies by language)
  • Samples (number varies by language)
  • Documentation (if available)
  • Fonts (more than 90 fonts)

I haven't tried using it so I don't if its any good but if you don't need to be compatible with Word or WP you may want to give this a look.

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone - Aloha!
