This is the page where we will collect additional resources for the use of the press/media.

Welcome to the NeoOffice Press Kit. This page aims to provide those interested in writing a story about NeoOffice/J with some background materials. The initial press release is available at the NeoOffice/J 1.1 Announcement page.

Features

The advantages of NeoOffice/J over other office suites, particularly Microsoft's are legion. Most importantly, NeoOffice/J is free and open source software relieving you of costly licensing fees.

There is a strong community support group that is also frequented by the developers at http://www.trinity.org/

Apart from these benefits, the software itself has a few features that outshine the competition:

General/application wide:

  • Clean HTML code export (especially when compared to MS Office).
  • Unified User Interface, reducing learning time and costs.
  • Type ahead functionality (optional) like many mobile phones have.
  • Support for 40 languages including

Asian and Complex Text Layout.

  • Input restricted only by the Unicode fonts available.

Writer (word processor):

  • A logical style system that does not invent styles based on your lay-out choices.
  • Functional bullet/list numbering
  • The ability to import Wordperfect documents (thanks to the libwpd project.

Calc (spreadsheet):

Impress (presentation):

  • The ability to export to Flash animation
  • Superior (3D) font art possibilities
