dunno about staroffice 6,  but I know 5.x did, I used to use it on windows..

I can't see them not making a windows version of 6...
especially since openoffice is also sponsored by Sun... (so if they share
codebase, then the chances are that the windows openoffice was based on the
windows staroffice..

Dave; Openoffice also has the HTML editor, but I agree about not using it.
Does StarOffice also come as a Windows version like Openoffice?
