StarOffice 8 next month ----------------------- "Sun Microsystems announced that the next version of the StarOffice office suite will be officially released next month at version 8. The software went into beta in February (see our previous coverage) with a full release scheduled for sometime mid-year.
The major development in StarOffice 8 is an increase in compatibility with Microsoft Office. To that end, Sun improved a number of areas and added extra features. Word users will see support for password-protected docs, page headers, tables, paragraphs, and column breaks. Excel users will also have password support and spreadsheet formula compatibility, and StarOffice will be able to handle much larger Excel spreadsheets. Finally, there will be support for PowerPoint AutoShapes." http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2005May/gee20050504030314.htm ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
