Nice office suite
by cane
OpenOffice is a very handy tool for my needs. Most of the time I use the Writer and the Calc components.
Maybe something is still counterintuitive or insufficiently autometed, and the rendering is slightly slow, but the core is steady.
One thing I'm dissatisfied with is that there are no official x86-64 builds. This is especially frustrating with x86-64 Linux distros.

OpenOffice.org is awesome
OpenOffice.org is definetly an awesome tool, I really wish I could contribute more to it's source code. However the OOo engineering team is doing a fantastic work with OOo and now is much easier to contribute with the whole Extensions layer.

Very Useful, good performance and free
This free Office suite has high quality and nice support for my native language Hindi.
I particularly like Doc, calc and draw very much. Automatic harvesting of words from current document is very cool.

Nice but still a long way to go
It's very nice to be open source and following the standards but still to become the best you have to take care of your speed,efficiency,deliverability,usability etc.I feel this software is slower than its much hyped non-standards counterpart.This lag in speed makes people still prefer that highly riced beast rather than to this bird.
Its usability is also not so good in comparison.It should take care on usability.Functionality wise I prefer this the best.
Open Office -- Excellent
by gplpedia
OpenOffice.org is a free cross-platform office application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. It supports the ISO/IEC standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, as well as Microsoft Office formats among others. OpenOffice.org was originally derived from StarOffice, an office suite developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999. The source code
OK... but not enough !!!

Being an open source software it readily came into use and acceptable for millions of users....
But its lagging far in performance from its counterpart as its too slow and difficult to manage at times...
But I like the "lesser in size" factor also...

I've been using open office since I don't have a MS office available, I just easily download it then use this application. Thanks for it.
Open Office
If you can't avail a MS Office in your pc, try OpenOffice aside from it's free to download it's almost the same with MS Office. Great work!
Bloated and Confusing
OpenOffice.org is bloated and is just as confusing as the horrible Microsoft Office it's trying to clone. If all you're looking for is a free Microsoft Office then this is it. If you want something that you can use, that isn't slow and bloated. That gives you good looking results... well look somewhere else. I'd recommend LaTeX, but the learning curve means that it isn't necessarily a suitable option for everyone.
Pros:
- Free

Click at the menu you think
by autorama
You search a menue item? Lost in the program? Thinking, you are silly?
For year and year unlogical menues, bugs and bad results. Then I tried OpenOffice and everything was logical. I just work and don't think at the program anymore. And with the Open Document Format, all data is save for decades.
Thanks a lot.
