OpenOffice.org is a cross-platform suite of office software that can be executed on Windows, Linux, MacOS X (X11), and Solaris and other operating systems. It is compatible with every major office software suite. OpenOffice.org is free software that anyone can download, use, and promote for free. The following are the main modules of OpenOffice.org: text document, spreadsheet, presentation, formula, drawing, database

OpenOffice.org is not only a combination of six components, but unlike similar products, this kit is not created as a standalone software module, and from the outset it was designed as a complete office package.

All packages have a similar look, easy to use, such as "style" and so on "learn to use everywhere" tool. OpenOffice.org maintains a similar look to your PC--Once you change your desktop, OpenOffice.org will change accordingly.

The same tool usage is the same between components-for example, the drawing tools used in Writer can be used in Impress and draw.

You do not have to know which application is used to create the special file--You can "open" any OpenOffice.org file using "file" and the correct application will run.

All packages share a spell checker, and if you change the "options" inside a component package, it will change in the other package as well.

Data can be easily transferred across all components.

All component files can be stored in the OpenDocument format (the new International Standard for Office documents), and the XML-based format is more reasonable for disk storage than for similar products, and any software compatible with OpenDocument standards can access your data.

With the installer, all components can be installed at once.

· All published versions are based on the same open license-no hidden fees
