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
