NeoOffice/J versus Microsoft Office

En dehors de ces avantages non négligeables, NeoOffice/J 1.1 possède des fonctionnalités qui le font surpasser la suite Microsoft Office :

Notes:
* NeoOffice/J ships with UIs for 12 languages; the other 28 are freely available in language packs. Office 2004 is available in English (all versions of Office 2004), and in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swedish (for some versions of Office 2004; must be ordered separately) [2].
** NeoOffice/J includes help files and a growing number of writing (proofing) tools for many languages from the OpenOffice.org project [3], [4], [5], [6]. Microsoft Office 2004 ships with proofing tools for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, German, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Finnish, and Dutch [7].
*** You must use the Caps Lock key to enable syllabics.
**** Because OpenOffice.org includes support for languages and scripts which do not have keyboard layouts in Mac OS X, and because Mac OS X includes system-level Unicode support for many of these languages even though Apple does not ship fonts or keyboards, it is very likely that NeoOffice/J will support text entry (and perhaps sorting) in the language/script if one installs third-party Unicode fonts and keyboard layouts. See Tom Gewecke's Your Multilingual Mac for more resources. For instance, there is a report that NeoOffice/J handles Khmer very well, and there has even been a report of using NeoOffice/J with characters in Unicode Planes 1 and 2.

NeoOffice/J vs. OpenOffice.org for Macintosh (X11)

NeoOffice/J is far more integrated with OS X than the X11 version on which it is based. Rather than relying on X11, NeoOffice/J uses Java to bridge the gap between the OpenOffice.org interface code and Apple's OS X.

Feature	NeoOffice/J	OpenOffice.org for Mac (X11)
Uses your normal Mac fonts (no conversion required)	YES	No
Smooth font display (Quartz anti-aliasing)	YES	No
Allows international keyboards and input methods	YES	Partial
Switches keyboards and input methods along with your Mac	YES	No
Optimized PDF generation	YES	No
Native Aqua menus	YES	No
Native OS X printing	YES	No
Native (styled) copy and paste support	YES	No
Drag-and-drop between other applications	YES	No
Normal Mac keyboard shortcuts (command key)	YES	YES*
Mouse wheel scrolling	YES	???
Integrated with Finder and major mail clients	YES	Partial**
OpenOffice.org codebase (version)	1.1.4	1.1.2***
Runs on Mac OS X 10.2.x, 10.3.x, 10.4.x	YES	YES***
Notes:
* Available only with certain settings in Apple X11, which is available only to users of Mac OS X 10.3.x and 10.4.x
** Finder integration provided by separate Start OpenOffice.org application; integration with Apple Mail only
*** The official Mac OS X version of OpenOffice.org is available only in English, is based on the OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 codebase, and runs on Mac OS X 10.2.x, 10.3.x, and 10.4.x. Unofficial localized French (1.1.3), Japanese (1.1.2, 1.1.4) and German (1.1.4) versions are available, but these versions run only on Mac OS X 10.3.x or 10.4.x, depending on the version.

Still To Do

In all fairness, NeoOffice/J is not perfect. No software is. Along with relatively large RAM requirements (minimum 256MB, 512MB recommended), there is always room for improvement. NeoOffice/J can (and will) get better. Take a look at the following comparison:

Feature	NeoOffice/J	MS Office 2004 for Mac	OpenOffice.org for Mac (X11)
Bitmap printing at >300 dpi	No	Yes	Yes
Can print Encapsulated Postscript (EPS)	No	Yes	Yes
Standard Mac OS X open & save dialogues	No	Yes	No
Media (plugin) support	No	Yes	No
Non-Mac keyboard shortcuts	Some	Some	Some
Table drawing options	Good	Very good	Good
Aqua look-and-feel	Partial	Full	None

Other Comparisons

Additional feature comparisons between selected office suites and word processors are available at Mellel and other word processors (redlers.com; compares Mellel with Microsoft™ Office, OpenOffice.org, and Nisus Writer Express, but not NeoOffice®/J) and Word-Alternativen: Der Test (apfelwiki.de; compares AbiWord, Mellel, NeoOffice®/J, Nisus Writer Express, and Apple's Pages [de]).

Supported File Formats

NeoOffice/J can read and write a large variety of file formats, both current and legacy. Current and recent Microsoft Office file formats are just some of the import and export possibilities; for a more complete listing, see the matrix.
