I’m still very new to the Mac, so i was never really 100% sold on NeoOffice 2.x, I just decided to use that as my primary office software because it had further integrated with some of the internal operating features of OSX. Less than a week after I installed NeoOffice, OpenOffice.org released OpenOffice 3.0, so I decided to test it out. Needless to say, the reason that I’m writing this post is because I not only decided to check out OpenOffice 3.0, but I decided to switch and let that now be my primary office program. Have I ruled out NeoOffice? Not at all, but I’m going to stick with OpenOffice for now, at least until the September release of NeoOffice 3.0.
Some of the features that I find very useful in the new version of OpenOffice 3.0 are:
- The new splash/open screen, allows documents to be created, opened, etc.
- Multi-page view in the word document editor
- Notes in the margins of word documents
I’m sure there are many other features that I’m overlooking, but those are some of the features that I noticed at first glance.
