OpenOffice.org 3.0 Is Officially Here

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-needs-office-anyway dept.

SNate writes "After a grinding three-year development cycle, the OpenOffice.org team has finally squeezed out a new release. New features include support for the controversial Microsoft OOXML file format, multi-page views in Writer, and PDF import via an extension. Linux Format has an overview of the new release, asking the question: is it really worth the 3.0 label?"

    It's one of those things that used to pop up and ask us to buy stuff before adblocker came out.

    Send your resume as PDF. As long as even different Word versions can't open other Word files correctly there is no hope formatting will be preserved.

    And if 'they' insist on Word files, you wouldn't want to work there anyway, as they are clearly deluded and stupid beyond measure.

    Not kidding either, actually.

    The things that pays for the bandwidth, servers, and salaries of those that run Slashdot.
    I would really like to white list Slashdot but every time I have tried they put up some stupid animated banner.
    Really is too bad since I would bet the ads on Slashdot are for things I may be interested in.
