Some features:
* It is pretty good at importing MicrosoftWord documents (other than VisualBasic macros).
* Version 1.1 and later can export to [PDF] natively, so you can type up documents and then make nice PDF files with TrueType fonts in it. (The [PDF] page lists some good reasons why emailing PDF files around is better than emailing word-processor files around).
* The Debian package of version 1.1 uses native [GTK2] widgets, so it fits nicely into a [GNOME] desktop. (There is a subproject of openoffice to use native widgets on all platforms - see http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/. GTK and Win32 are already supported but it is not yet in the main [CVS] branch. Good on Debian for including it already!)
-* Redhat, Ximian
and Debian are all using the same CVS server on gnome.org which includes these additions.

* Open file format - it uses [XML] so you will never be in the situation where you have old documents but can't extract any information out of it.
* Version 1.1 is much improved over version 1.0, especially in terms of start-up time.
[OpenOffice.org] is included on [TheOpenCD], which is an easy way for windows users to try this great OpenSource software without having to commit to a large change.
