Sun has introduced several new extensions to StarOffice and OpenOffice.org complimenting the add-ons highlighted last month and allowing users to tailor the suite to their needs.
The new
extensions include the Sun
Presentation Minimizer which can reduce
the file size of presentations by up to 55% and can also work with
Microsoft PowerPoint files. Other additions include availability of the
StarOffice
8 Server
OpenOffice.org is gaining
great momentum - with more than 1 million
OpenOffice downloads a week! Check out Mark
Herring's blog for more details.
Sun
will also be providing back-end support for
OpenOffice.org distributors and will handle the development and
distribution of OpenOffice.org patches - meaning partners can now guarantee a timely
fix to customers' problems.
