OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta released / downloaded

written by: Dr_Gadget | category: Tech News | posted: 03/23/08

Since I wrote about Ubuntu 8.04 in the last post, it’s worth to mention OpenOffice 3.0 Beta. Note: This is only Beta and it’s not 100% stable nor fully tested. But some of you want to get your hands on the latest stuff. You can now download OpenOffice 3.0 from list of OpenOffice mirrors, choose a download site, and then find the Developer folder and the DEV300 supfolder and you should be able to download a Windows, Linux, or even Mac installer (hey, Apple’s fans).

What’s new for 3.0 where 2.3.1 doesn’t have?

Multi-page view in Writer
Office 2007 document support
New Calc theme
Maximum number of columns in Calc jumps from 256 to 1024
Multiple users can edit spreadsheets simultaneously

Estimated that OpenOffice 3.0 will be available in September, 2008.

Hi, thanks for the link. I just want to clarify the 3.0 beta is not out until at least April 30.

Is it the case that OO-dev.3.0 will not run on Hardy at this point. I downloaded the .deb version currently available, and cannot figure out any way to launch it.
