NeoOffice

Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office. The five major applications in Neo Office are called Writer, Calc, Impress (or sometimes called Presenter), Base, and Draw. That’s a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, database and drawing program. If you use Microsoft Office, you know that the Mac version does not include a database program while the Windows version does include Access.

There is a NeoOffice Mobile version for the iPhone and iPad or any other internet enabled mobile device. Users of the mobile version can save to the mobile server from within NeoOffice and there is a detailed document history which will track your updates regardless of the computer or mobile device you use.

There are many other features for NeoOffice that are coming online to support the suite in an increasingly Mac intuitive manner.

Instructions to changing default save from .odf to .doc will assist users in integrating NeoOffice into a school or institution reliant on Microsoft Office.
