Open Office Writer Free Download

.docx & .doc support - Writer can of course read all your older Microsoft Word documents, or save your work in Microsoft Word format for sending to people who are still using Microsoft products. Writer can also open .docx files created with Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X.

I have both MS Word and Open Office Writer (actually Libre Office) installed. Ive been using RMarkdown to knit docx format, without problems. My question is: when I switch to generate ODT format, it keeps using MS Word for previewing the generated ODT. I couldn't find where to change this behaviour. Ive already checked that the ".odt" extension is handled by Openoffice. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your suggestion. Im not sure if I understand what you meam by "Try changing the default behaviour for selecting open office in the windows.", because, as I said, Ive checked that open office is the default application to handle the ".odt" extension. Is there any other behaviour to change? By the way, Im using Windows 10 Pro, R version 3.6.3, RStudio Version 1.1.463, Rmarkdown version 2.3, knitr version 1.29. Here is a sample .Rmd:

Yes, definitely. Ive just double checked with the odt generated from the .Rmd above.

I believe there must be a place where rmarkdow does a "system(word....)" but it

should be (I believe!) a "system(writer...)", but I have no clue how to change it...

I confirmed this behavior. I have never activated Word on my system, though it is available. If I knit to odt, the preview opens in Word, which then wants me to accept the license agreement, etc. All odt files open in OpenOffice when double clicked.

No, I`ve changed the extension association through the configurations menu.When I right click over an odt file, then select "Open", it opens with Open Office. If I select "Open with", both Open Office and Word appear as options, but Open Office is listed first.

After Writer has been started, by selecting Text Document from the OOo group in the Start Menu on a Windows machine or by running the soffice script on Linux, you should see a main window as shown below:

tag_hash_107______the color palettes can be transformed into a floating window that will remain open until you close it, by clicking on the close button in its right upper corner. To perform this action, repeat step 2 of the procedure listed above, click and hold the left mouse button on the color palette window title bar, then drag the mouse somewhere over the document area, and finally release the mouse button. This behavior is common to other pop-up windows of the Main Toolbar.

Imagine that you have written a long composition with many sections with different headings style, and then at 4:55 PM, your office boss comes in and says: "I prefer Arial, instead of Verdana, as heading font style and Georgia, instead of Times New Roman, for the normal text. Please, change it before going home..." Oh, yes, you have 5 minutes to change tens of headings and paragraphs!

The opening, saving, and printing of files are the most common actions in a word processor, and therefore, they have to be very easy and accessible. The OOo Office suite gives you several alternatives.

tag_hash_108______The actions listed above are valid only when an OOo text document window is already open. However, it would be a waste of time to open a blank document only to open another file; so, the Windows OOo version has implemented a tag_hash_109_________________It is a program that starts when your system starts and can be accessed through the little butterfly icon you should see near the bottom right corner of your display. Double click on it and a tag_hash_110______________________________________will appear. In it, you'll be able to select a document and to open it directly. Right clicking the same icon will bring up a simpler style of Open File Window.

OpenOffice was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use. Sun open-sourced the OpenOffice suite in July 2000 as a competitor to Microsoft Office,[14][15] releasing version 1.0 on 1 May 2002.[1]

OpenOffice.org originated as StarOffice, a proprietary office suite developed by German company Star Division from 1985 on. In August 1999, Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[20][21] for US$59.5 million,[22] as it was supposedly cheaper than licensing Microsoft Office for 42,000 staff.[23]

On 19 July 2000 at OSCON, Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.[14][15][24] The new project was known as OpenOffice.org,[25] and the code was released as open source on 13 October 2000.[26] The first public preview release was Milestone Build 638c, released in October 2001 (which quickly achieved 1 million downloads[20]); the final release of OpenOffice.org 1.0 was on 1 May 2002.[1]

OpenOffice.org became the standard office suite on many Linux distros and spawned many derivative versions. It quickly became noteworthy competition to Microsoft Office,[27][28] achieving 14% penetration in the large enterprise market by 2004.[29]

After acquiring Sun in January 2010, Oracle Corporation continued developing OpenOffice.org and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office,[42] though with a reduction in assigned developers.[43] Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to OpenOffice.org had also been noted by industry observers.[44] In September 2010, the majority[45][46] of outside OpenOffice.org developers left the project,[47][48] due to concerns over Sun and then Oracle's management of the project[49][50][51] and Oracle's handling of its open source portfolio in general,[52] to form The Document Foundation (TDF). TDF released the fork LibreOffice in January 2011,[53] which most Linux distributions soon moved to.[54][55][56][57] In April 2011, Oracle stopped development of OpenOffice.org[17] and fired the remaining Star Division development team.[35][58] Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed; some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice[59] while others suggest it was a commercial decision.[35]

The mission of OpenOffice.org is to create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.

The OpenOffice.org 2 series attracted considerable press attention.[152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159] A PC Pro review awarded it 6 stars out of 6 and stated: "Our pick of the low-cost office suites has had a much-needed overhaul, and now battles Microsoft in terms of features, not just price."[160] Federal Computer Week listed OpenOffice.org as one of the "5 stars of open-source products",[161] noting in particular the importance of OpenDocument. Computerworld reported that for large government departments, migration to OpenOffice.org 2.0 cost one tenth of the price of upgrading to Microsoft Office 2007.[162]

Large-scale users of OpenOffice.org included Singapore's Ministry of Defence,[180] and Banco do Brasil.[181] As of 2006[update] OpenOffice.org was the official office suite for the French Gendarmerie.[170]

Sun had stated in the original OpenOffice.org announcement in 2000 that the project would be run by a neutral foundation,[14] and put forward a more detailed proposal in 2001.[244] There were many calls to put this into effect over the ensuing years.[37][245][246][247] On 28 September 2010, in frustration at years of perceived neglect of the codebase and community by Sun and then Oracle,[69] members of the OpenOffice.org community announced a non-profit called The Document Foundation and a fork of OpenOffice.org named LibreOffice. Go-oo improvements were merged, and that project was retired in favour of LibreOffice.[248] The goal was to produce a vendor-independent office suite with ODF support and without any copyright assignment requirements.[249]

Sun's contributions to OpenOffice.org had been declining for a number of years[245] and some developers were unwilling to assign copyright in their work to Sun,[39] particularly given the deal between Sun and IBM to license the code outside the LGPL.[35] On 2 October 2007, Novell announced that ooo-build would be available as a software package called Go-oo, not merely a patch set.[266] (The go-oo.org domain name had been in use by ooo-build as early as 2005.[267]) Sun reacted negatively, with Simon Phipps of Sun terming it "a hostile and competitive fork".[37] Many free software advocates worried that Go-oo was a Novell effort to incorporate Microsoft technologies, such as Office Open XML, that might be vulnerable to patent claims.[268] However, the office suite branded "OpenOffice.org" in most Linux distributions, having previously been ooo-build, soon in fact became Go-oo.[260][269][270]

Put it on both my laptop and my desktop, seems relatively OK on the laptop, but on my desktop, Writer crashes within a few seconds of it being open. It's not frozen on startup though, it works for 5 to maybe 10 seconds, I can type and use all menu options and everything, but then it just crashes.
