Today marks nine years since the last big OpenOffice update (4.1). If you're still using it, but want something more up-to-date, check out #LibreOffice! It was based on OpenOffice and is also free and open source, but with huge improvements and many fixes: libreoffice.org/discover/libre…
@gpowerf I am using OpenOffice. Know why? Because it just works for what I use it for. Why would I use a similar product when the product I use just works for me.
@gpowerf Windows 11, Dragon Professional 16. In LibreOffice, the green indicator light shows on the DragonBar, but I can't select text by voice (Select-and-Say). When it released 16, Nuance claimed it worked with LibreOffice, but has since quietly removed those statements. 😞
@IzzyChambers @gpowerf Thanks for the details – if you have a couple of minutes, could you maybe check on bugs.documentfoundation.org in case someone else has reported it, please? Or add a report – then we can investigate. Thanks!
@ibeardslee In 2000, my parents bought a PC with StarOffice 5.1 preinstalled. I discovered OpenOffice (1.x) in 2005 when I went to my cousin’s home once.
Office7 (a fork) was preinstalled on my first laptop PC (2007-2009).
I switched from Office 2007 to OOo in 2010, and from OOo to LibO the day of its public release (a winning bet, since nobody knew if this fork will last at this time).
