Go-oo - OpenOffice with a twist

Hi all,

May be of interest to some of you office-using people:

I've written a review of Go-oo, a cross-platform collection of patches for the OpenOffice suite that offers better import/export filter for a variety of file formats, additional languages, SVG graphics, VBA support, and more. Enjoy.

Well Mr. Linux Systems Expert, you're not too bad on Windows either

I know quite a few people who will find this very helpful.

Thanx

 

Seconded,this is a nice piece of work

 

does it auto update like regular openoffice? or do the updates have to be downloaded from their site for each new version and if so, how can u check if thers a new version, do u just have to visit their site every so often and manually check?

 

is the standard language english or do i still need a pack for english usa? thanks looks pretty nice

 

update: It has the autoupdate like regular OO.
language: I downloaded the en_us installer and that's it.

Cheers,
Mrk

 

Cheers! This is what I'm looking for recently.

Thanks a lot!

 

hmm ok, do the version stay up to date with the regular OpenOffice cuz it seems Go-oo isnt as up to date as the normal one

 

No. I downloaded Go-oo from their official site,but when I tried to install it,it said I had a newer version of openoffice so it asked me to uninstall the newer one first.

But I had thought that Go-oo 3.1.10 is up to date according to OO's newest version 3.1.1.

 

but the build number is lower on Go-oo, i checked with update notifier and says thers a new version, yet i downloaded the newest Go-oo.

 

Sorry but what do you mean by "the build number is lower"?

3.1.10 is not lower than the build number of OO which is 3.1.1 I think.

 

the newest openoffice is 3.1.9420 and update notifier is asking me to update to it so i guess that Go-oo is a bit behind the normal OpenOffice

 

I see. Thanks.
