After 3 years of development, it is now available for download the new Spanish version of OpenOffice: OpenOffice.org 3

| OpenOffice 3 |
OpenOffice
is the most important open source office suite and is already considered by
many as the best alternative to Microsoft Office.
The
download, installation and use of OpenOffice.org 3 is free, so it is a real alternative for those
that we can not or do not want to pay the high prices of Microsoft Office 2007, and
also for those who want to continue working with traditional menus instead of
confusing menus of Office 2007. In fact, using OpenOffice 3 does not require
learning because most settings are organized in the same way in Office 2003
programs.
OpenOffice.org,
originally based on StarOffice, was bought by Sun Microsystems in 1999, releasing their codea year later with LGPL license. Unlike other office suites,
OpenOffice source code can be read and improved by anyone, which has made the
user community its main advantage over the closed Microsoft code.
Many
already tested and used the version 2, which was already a very good choice,
but version 3 comes with a number of improvements that have left us pleasantly
surprised. Here
are some of them:
·
Support for multiple file
formats, including Office 2003 and 2007
·
Native support for PDF files
·
Suite versions for PC, Mac
and Linux.
·
Improved graphics and image
handling and photographs
·
Improvements previews before
printing
·
New look, and retains the
traditional menus
The
suite includes programs: Writer (text editor), Calc (spreadsheet), Impress
(presentation slides), Draw (desktop publishing and publishing) and Base
(database editor).

Once installed, we can try it without uninstalling the Microsoft
Office, and so see no problem as it is able to open, edit and save documents we
have generated with Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
For
example, if we want to open a Word document with the OpenOffice Writer, you
click on the document icon with the right mouse button and select "Open
with ...
The
tests we have done have left us pleasantly surprised, most Word and Excel files
can be opened without suffering little change in appearance, then we can work
with them, insert graphics, galleries, forms, correct spelling, and eventually
save them back to its original format of Microsoft Office so that other users
can open it without problems.
All menus are where they should be, it is very easy to learn, is stable, works very fluid, and has lots of interesting new options, as published in Blog, export to pdf, link with mobile devices, with Google Calendar .. ...
No
doubt this new office suite will give much to talk about.
