StarOffice is an affordable office productivity suite that runs on multiple operating systems, including the Solaris Operating Environment, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. This office suite has a simple, easy-to- use interface and contains full-featured applications with word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, graphics, and database capabilities. StarOffice is also fully compatible with other office suites, including Microsoft Office.
With the StarOffice suite you get tools for word processing, developing spreadsheets, making presentations, creating graphics, editing photos, publishing to the Web, and using data from relational databases. All StarOffice applications are integrated, which means they share the same basic menu commands, toolbars, and function keys, so you can get your work done faster. In addition, StarOffice Draw, the included graphics application, lets you add diagrams and graphics to StarOffice documents with a wide variety of drawing tools and templates.
In this latest version StarOffice software improves on the best Microsoft Office import and export filters available today. StarOffice 6.0 supports editable Microsoft Office OLE objects, auto shapes, frames, charts, and form controls. The StarOffice 6.0 release also integrates e-mail, including Netscape Messenger and Address Book, to send documents as e-mails directly from StarOffice modules. It also offers new levels of encryption to password-protect text documents and spreadsheets.
StarOffice is offered by Sun Microsystems.
