In Windows or linux we are fond of seeing users migrating to OpenOffice.org.

Why?

Simply because it’s open-source and it’s free.

However what about the Apple MAC users?

Based on the OpenOffice.org, the open source community build Neo Office.

Let’s go into further details.

Neo Office is another OpenOffice.org actually except it is for MAC users only.

Based on the Open Document Format (ODF), Neo Office provides a full-featured office suite for your MAC.

Neo Office Includes :-

1. Word Processing
2. Spreadsheet
3. Presentation
4. Drawing
5. Database

As you can see in the interface (above), there’s not much difference as compared to OpenOffice.org applications in Windows or Linux.

However it has its laidback in supporting the new Microsoft Office formats whic are xml-based.

Izzy Rocks column :

1) No risk in trying this application.

2) However, you need to note there might be alignment differences when opening a Microsoft Office application. This happens in OpenOffice.org and it also happens in tis suite.

3) Loading time is also much slower as compared to Microsoft Office.

4) Similarly like Microsoft Office, there will be bugs on the software and you need to check the official website NeoOffice.org for updated patches.
