Editor's review of OxygenOffice Professional
5.0 stars
- "Breathe new life into OpenOffice"
Spun off from OpenOffice.org, OxygenOffice Pro is virtually the same program, but with a few more features. Fortunately, it's much like its parent, and you can opt out of whatever features you dislike during the installation.
Originally called OpenOffice Premium, a misnomer like the current "pro" designation, the interface and basic functions remain unchanged from the source. OxygenOffice is all about the add-ons. Most notably it comes with a huge clip-art and photo gallery, 3,400 images strong and easy to drop into any Oxygen document. There are also extra fonts, templates, and sample docs included, useful for those who have forgotten or need a refresher for business letter formats and such, but they're not for every user.
One function that should have wide appeal is OooWikipedia, which lets you search Wikipedia without having to jump to your browser. Support for Visual Basic in Excel, and smoother WordPerfect document and graphics importation are small but useful improvements. There are also enhanced help menus and user's manuals, nice touches that reflect the extras that Oxygen gives. Despite these extras, we'd like to see more OpenOffice plug-ins included before making this a must-have.

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.4.1
"I THINK IT IS AS GOOD AS MICROSOFT OFFICE 2003"
Pros: What I like is the fact that it is free. It is easy to use.
Cons: I have much trouble with updates. They seem to download but won't install.
Summary: As I said in summary, it is as good as MS Office 2003 and need some work to be like MS Office 2007. I think it is considerablly simpler to use than 2007. I think a little upgrade in Calc would be nice.

Cons: This program loads in a foreign language.

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.4.1
"Waste of bandwidth. What language?"
Pros: If I could install it I could answer the question. Surely the worst download from your site ever!
Cons: Needs a translator and also tells me that I am using the wrong operating system. This is in English. Something strange here.
Summary: Don't waste time and bandwidth unless you speak a wierd East European language.

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.4.1
Pros: Openoffice is very good software.
Cons: None of the words are recognizable. It's in Polish or something. I think you have to specify the default language when you first install the software. Look for something like "Anglisky (USA)" in the list of languages.
