Planamesa Software has released NeoOffice/J 2.1,
a Mac port of OpenOffice 2.1 using a Java-based GUI.
This release now runs on Intel Macs.
New features in 2.1 include:
- ISO 26300 OpenDocument (aka OpenOffice.org 2.0) file formats
- Microsoft OpenXML Word documents
- Microsoft Excel VBA macros
- Novell's Solver for Calc
- LaTeX and BibTeX export
- Microsoft Works word processing documents
- New database component
- Enhanced sound
- Native Cocoa Open and Save dialogues and other more Aqua-savvy appearances
NeoOffice is catching up to Microsoft Office, though it's certainly not there yet, and I'm not sure it will ever get there. (Various look-and-feel bugs I've filed have been closed as won't fix.)
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
is required.
NeoOffice is published exclusively under the GPL.
