Does what it says on the tin...


A very good product and excellent value. Will do almost everything most users would want. Some problems importing MS stuff but, if you use StarOffice as your main package anyway, who cares ...? Database is not as intuitive/friendly as MS Access, but it still does the job. The ability to export to PDF and Flash format is excellent.

Overview

StarOffice 7.0

Editors rating
Rating: 8.0
Verdict

StarOffice is suitable for education institutions and home users, but its poor Microsoft compatibility limits its business uses.

Typical price

£ 44

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
