of formats, with special emphasis on Word documents.
Calc??”The StarOffice spreadsheet program. You can import spreadsheets from Microsoft
Excel and other popular programs.
Impress??”Create presentations with this application.
Draw??”A vector-oriented drawing program that includes the capability to create 3D
objects and to use texturing.
Base??”Manage your data sources. You can access a variety of database interfaces.
Other tools in StarOffice enable you to create business graphics, edit raster images, and edit mathematical
formulas.
You can download StarOffice 8 for Linux or purchase a boxed set from the StarOffice Web site at
www.sun.com/staroffice. Although StarOffice was once available free for download, the current
price to download the software for home users is $69.95 U.S., or $99.95 if you purchase it
through retail outlets. (You can also get a volume discount.) There is a trial version available that
you can enable (using a license key) if you decide that you like it enough to purchase the product.
One reason to pay for StarOffice when you can get OpenOffice.
