NeoOffice 3.0 is based on the OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 code. In constrast, all of the NeoOffice 2.2.x releases were based on the older OpenOffice 2.2.1 code. While Sun Microsystems' OpenOffice.org engineers added many enhancements and new features in OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, they also implemented many small feature changes that were requested by OpenOffice.org users.
Since we released NeoOffice 3.0 Early Access back in January 2009, we have found several OpenOffice.org feature changes that NeoOffice 2.2.5 users did not expect when upgrading to NeoOffice 3.0. This article contains a list of the issues that NeoOffice 2.2.5 users are likely to encounter from the unexpected changes that we have found as well as suggested workarounds for those issues.
Writer issues
- Some dictionaries and thesauri that were available in NeoOffice 2.2.5 are no available in NeoOffice 3.0 or OpenOffice.org 3.0.1. List of currently available dictionaries and thesauri.
- A new plugin is needed for Zotero. Even with the 1.0b4 plugin the toolbar does not install. Tools>Macros>Run Macro and navigation down to the relevant macro must be used instead.
Calc issues
- NeoOffice defines empty cells differently in formulas from OpenOffice.org. This is seen in the following functions SUMIF(), COUNTIF(), COUNTBLANK(), DCOUNT(), DSUM() when the "<>" condition is used. See this trinity forum post for more information.
- INDIRECT_XL() and ADDRESS_XL() functions are no longer recognized. #NAME? will appear in a cell containing one of those functions. Workaround: change to INDIRECT() and ADDRESS() respectively.
