Update to OpenOffice 2 Released

VincenzoRomano writes "The very first update to OpenOffice 2, namely v2.0.1, has been released. Despite its version numbering, along with minor bug fixes there are a number of new features. From the update page: 'For example, it is now possible to disable and hide particular application settings, which comes in handy for central administration in networks. Plus, a new keyboard shortcut permits the user to return to a saved cursor position. The bullets and numbering feature has been expanded, and a new mail merge feature is available.' Downloads are ready in both binary formats and source code for an ever increasing number of localised languages. Go grab your version!"

  1. Re:How is OOo doing in the IT world? by shokk · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We don't touch this OOo crap lest some incompatibility creep in and embarass us with our customers. Interfacing with customers is one area where I expect business does not play as fast and loose as the open source world would wish. Business is just now getting around to adopting Linux as a server platform after it has been out for over a decade. Don't expect OOo to be adopted any quicker. I expect in seven years to see articles in IT trade rags exclaiming about this precious new free office suite Open Office 10 that they have discovered and how it is so 5VV337 and better than any other. While Firefox is young and popular in the IT world, its rate of adoption seems to have hit a wall.
