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

This trinity thread is for further discussion of the development of the Press Kit, as needed.

As we add items to the kit, we wipe out the "comments" or "place-holders" for them.
