There is some talk about removing the old converters that import the old
StarOffice binary formats into OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. I don't think
that has happened just yet.
I would test both (say OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice 3.3.x stable versions) and
make sure that some of your most important/complex documents will round-trip
between StarOffice and back again without difficulty. Or if not roundtrip,
that they at least open in those versions without difficulty.
Then hold onto the version that works best for you. You should be able to hold
onto either 3.3.x for a considerable time.
At some point you should consider migrating documents to the later ODF format.
Or use the OO.o/LO built-in capability to save documents as PDF that you want
to keep but no longer need to edit.

OK everyone, i joined this discussion simply because i am trying to
find out if OOo upgrades all the features i have in my Star Office 6.5 that i'm
still using after 8 years. Still havent found that answer, Could anyone assist
me?

Install it and try it. It's free. I used to use Staroffice.
Wow, tall order. Thank You Dennis, Really hoped for a simple easy
migration without a lot of background work. I know it needs to update
but honestly i really do not have a lot of free time due to my
employment taking most of it. Will give your suggestion a try when i can.
