Manual

Apache OpenOffice is an open-source office productivity software suite. It is a successor project of OpenOffice.org and integrates features and improvements from IBM Lotus Symphony. Apache OpenOffice is a close cousin of LibreOffice and NeoOffice. It contains a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet (Calc), a presentation application (Impress), a drawing application (Draw), a formula editor (Math), and a database management application (Base).

Apache OpenOffice's default file format is the OpenDocument Format (ODF), an ISO/IEC standard, which originated with OpenOffice.org. It can also read and write a wide variety of other file formats, with particular attention to those from Microsoft Office (although unlike LibreOffice it cannot write Microsoft's newer XML formats like DOCX).

Apache OpenOffice is developed for Linux, OS X and Windows, with ports to other operating systems. It is distributed under the Apache License. The first release was version 3.4.0, on 8 May 2012.

Compatible with other major office suites, Apache OpenOffice is free to download, use, and distribute. Download it now, and get:
