OpenOffice.org Writer

The Freedom to make your documents look great

OpenOffice.org Writer has everything you would expect from a modern, fully equipped word processor.

It's simple enough for a quick memo, powerful enough to create complete books with contents, diagrams, indexes, etc. You're free to concentrate on your message, while Writer makes it look great.

The Auto-Pilot takes all the hassle out of producing standard documents such as letters, faxes, agendas, minutes. You are of course free to create your own templates.

The Stylist puts the power of style sheets into the hands of every user.

You're free to add words and phrases to the AutoCorrect dictionary, which can check your spelling as you type.

AutoComplete suggests common words and phrases to complete what you are typing.

AutoFormat takes care of the formatting as you write, leaving you free to concentrate on your message.

Text frames and linking mean you are free to lay out newsletters, flyers, etc. exactly the way you want them to be.

Increase the usefulness of your long, complex documents by generating a table of contents or indexing terms, bibliographical references, illustrations, tables, and other objects.

Make your documents freely available with Writer's HTML export to the web, or publish in Portable Document Format (.pdf) to guarantee that what you write is what your reader sees.

Of course, you are free to use old Microsoft Word documents, or save your work in Word format for sending to people who are still locked into Microsoft products.
