Open Office For Business CD Available
The second in Connect Computing's Open Source offerings offers Open Office with training.
(PRWEB) October 27, 2004 -- Connect Computing is pleased to announce the
"Open Office for Business" CD-ROM and manual. This is the second in a series of
products being developed to help raise awareness of Open and Free Software
available to small businesses.
"With our small business / Open Source
CD-ROM packages, we hope people find it easier trying Open Source alternatives
to proprietary software.", stated Roy Hoobler, president of Connect
Computing.
Open Office is a powerful set of applications that include a
word processor, drawing program, presentation program, and spreadsheet
application. Mr. Hoobler went on to say, "In many businesses it is hard to keep
people on the same version of any application because of licensing cost. Open
Office can keep everyone working in a consistent environment using the same
version of the office suite. This alone is worth considering Open
Office".
The first part of "Open Office for Business" manual covers basic
installation and an overview of each of the Open Office applications, including
how to create professional presentations, templates, as well as an overview of
using formulas in spreadsheets. The second part of the manual covers integrating
Open Office to other databases (the examples cover MySQL) to get data into
spreadsheets, create form letters, and labels for envelopes.
