WordPerfect

OpenOffice.org 2.0 includes a WordPerfect
®
filter developed by the open source community.
Developers are invited to contribute to this project.
Calc now has 65,536 Rows
OpenOffice.org 1.1.x supported only 32,768 rows in spreadsheet documents, which caused
Microsoft Excel interoperability issues. The new version now takes OpenOffice.org to the
same level as Microsoft Excel.
Enhanced DataPilot Support
With the DataPilot in OpenOffice.org 2.0 (similar to Microsoft Excel's PivotTable feature) it
is now possible to create new groups, filter data based on values, show differences and
percentages instead of absolute values, etc.
The new DataPilot features turn OpenOffice.org Calc into a very powerful tool for data
analysis.
Native Installers
OpenOffice.org 2.0 supports the native installation mechanisms. For example, .MSI and
.CAB files are provided on Microsoft Windows, RPM, and .deb files are available for Linux.
For users with more sophisticated management requirements, Sun provides configuration
management tools as part of the StarOffice software. StarOffice 8 will also introduce Macro
migration tools.
Native Desktop Integration
OpenOffice.org 2.0 integrates nicely into the desktop environment. Thus, OpenOffice.org
looks and behaves like any other application on a given platform. On Windows XP it looks
like a Windows application, and on Linux it uses the same UI widgets as GIMP or Evolution.
Floating Toolbars
Toolbars are much more flexible in OpenOffice.org 2.0. It is now very easy to attach and
detach toolbars, move them around and customize them.
Style Paint Brush
An new icon has been added to the Standard toolbar. This icon is a shortcut to the style
painter in the Style and Formatting Window.
