OpenOffice 3.1 ready to lick Microsoft's suite?

,----[ Quote ]
| The answer for many is OpenOffice.org, which has - after several push-backs - 
| just released version 3.1. And the good news is that OpenOffice 3.1 meets the 
| most important criterion of any software upgrade: It's considerably snappier 
| than its predecessor.

Why Do I Use OpenOffice?

,----[ Quote ]
| In addition, using OpenDocument Format as the default file format helps
| future-proof my documents. After the current producers of “office software”
| all move on to something else, will you have the right to create a program to
| read and manipulate your data in the formats it was saved in? Will you be
| forced to buy a license from someone? Or perhaps be required to use a
| particular operating system?

OpenOffice.org 3.1: Looking Sharp

,----[ Quote ]
| The updated free office software suite includes more than 20 major changes to
| its five core applications. Perhaps the most striking new feature, however,

| graphical elements.

OpenOffice 3.1: The new features

,----[ Quote ]
| Compared to its predecessors, OpenOffice 3.1 offers a whole range of new
| features. Instant eye catchers are the improved anti-aliasing for graphics,
| better chart functionality, and the new text highlighting in Writer. However,
| inconspicuous new features like custom document property fields and the
| OpenOffice User Feedback Program are just as interesting.

| Renaissance) then that concept will be adopted for ALL of the office suite!

Making menus a little nicer

,----[ Quote ]
| So now that code freeze for 3.1 is almost upon us, work for 3.2 begins. As a
| first little step I looked through some old issues and noticed Issues 42227
| and 48965 which I must admit went a little under in the load of my intray.
| The problem described in there is basically an aesthetic one: currently menus
| reserve two "columns" for checkmarks and item images, because menu items can
| be checked as well as have an image and both should be reflected of course in
| the display. But this creates a large area where most of the time nothing
| appears on the left of the menu, making the menu look clunkier than
| necessary.
