oh, EK, when u mean StarOffice, u mean the latest version (6 above) which is paid or u are still using the old one (5.2) which is free? OpenOffice while lacks the templates that StarOffice has, performs better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Both have the same source as a basis: StarOffice (a German product, originally ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) is the commercial variant, whereas OpenOffice is the Open variant. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
The commercial variant ships with some things the open variant doesn't have, like a spell checker and a thesaurus, as far as I know.
I have both, because an older version of StarOffice once was on a magazine's CD-ROM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
