OpenOffice.org 2 is the result of over twenty years' software
engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software,
it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open
development process means that anyone can report bugs, request
new features, or enhance the software.
The result: OpenOffice.org 2 does everything you want your
office software to do, the way you want it to.

&nbsp;Easy to use
</div>
<div class="spacy">
OpenOffice.org 2 is easy to learn, and if you're already using another
office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice.org 2 straight away.
Our world-wide native-language community means that
OpenOffice.org 2 is probably available and supported in your own language.
And if you already have files from another office package - OpenOffice.org
2 will probably read them with no difficulty.

&nbsp;and it's free
</div>
<div class="spacy">
<!-- The content for this attention grabbing block -->
Best of all, OpenOffice.org 2 can be downloaded and used entirely
free of any licence fees. OpenOffice.org 2 is released under the LGPL
licence. This means you may use it for any purpose - domestic,
commercial, educational, public administration. You may install it
on as many computers as you like. You may make copies and give them
away to family, friends, students, employees - anyone you like.
