Fedora Core 2: FEDORA-2005-206 moderate: OpenOffice.org Update

fedora
Calendar Grey March 14, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Update process for OpenOffice.org on Fedora Core 2, outlining essential bug fixes and enhancements for improved functionality.
This update makes the Fedora Core 2 version of OpenOffice.org equivalent to the version in Fedora Core 3.

Summary

OpenOffice.org is an Open Source, community-developed, multi-platform

office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications,

such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, formula

editor and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set

similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible,

OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file

formats, including Microsoft Office.

Usage: Simply type "ooffice" to run OpenOffice.org or select the

requested component (Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, etc.) from your

desktop menu. The ooffice wrapper script will install a few files in

the user's home, if necessary.

The OpenOffice.org team hopes you enjoy working with OpenOffice.org!
