OpenOffice 4.1.14 by Apache – Free Office Suite

OpenOffice 4 product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program.

OpenOffice 4 has a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible, it also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office.

Available in over 45 supported languages, OpenOffice runs stably and natively on Solaris, Linux (including PPC Linux), Windows, Mac OS, and other platforms.

Written in C++ and with documented APIs licensed under the LGPL and SISSL Open Source licenses, OpenOffice allows any knowledgeable developer to benefit from the source.
