These extra templates, fonts, and graphics are free for both personal and professional use. Additional tools like OOoWikipedia, which can search the free on-line encyclopaedia Wikipedia, are also included. An enhanced help menu, addtional User’s Manual, and the enabled extended tips are great to help beginners get started using OxygenOffice Professional.
OxygenOffice Professional is based on OpenOffice.org 2.0.4. This latest and greatest version has new functions like enhanced PDF management and direct export to LaTex. The OxygenOffice Professional team of internatioanl developers changed the name of the project , (which was formerly known as OpenOffice.org Premium), to simplify things and point out that this project is independent from the OpenOffice.org project. Our team loves and supports the OpenOffice.org project, and did not want to cause any potential confusion.

OpenOffice.org
OxygenOffice Professional is based on OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org the product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, 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 those of Microsoft Office.
Version 2 – another first for OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org Version 1 was the first product to deliver the benefits of open source software to mass-market users, delivering essential everyday software tools completely free of charge. Translated into over 60 languages, available on all major computing platforms (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X X11, GNU/Linux, Solaris), OpenOffice.org Version 1 is now in use by tens of millions of delighted users worldwide.
With Version 2, it gets even better:
* the first office suite to use the new OASIS OpenDocument format, the future-proof international standard for office software (ISO/IEC 26300)
* easier to install, with a whole new look and feel, matched to the type of computer in use
* more intuitive, more easy to use than ever, with a host of new usability features
* introducing a major new component, Base: an easy-to-use database manager with a fully integrated database
* more compatible with other software packages – now understands even obscure and rarely used features in major competitors
But the licence is still the same: you may download OpenOffice.org Version 2 completely free of any licence fees, use it for any purpose– private, educational, government and public administration, commercial – and pass on copies free of charge to family, friends, students, employees, etc.
