Yes, OpenOffice.org was the free version of StarOffice.


Minor correction:
StarOffice was Sun's commercial version of OpenOffice.org.


To me, both those sentences say the same thing.

Hello, I wAS just wondering about Star Office, I believe it was a Sun

Yes, OpenOffice.org was the free version of StarOffice. There were
some differences but very much of it were the same.

Best regards, Oliver.




  Is
it still available for sale or otherwise?  Thanks for your feedback.


I don't think so.



Sun Microsystems ahd been acquired by Oracle soem years ago.
Thus, "StarOffice" became "Oracle Open Office".
In 2011, Oracle decided to be no longer involved in office productivity 
development. Thus, "Oracle Open Office" vanished.


Best regards, Oliver.

Re: [writer] Bullets with icons on the side of a whole paragraph

Martin Groenescheij (2013-03-05 22:13):
Even if it is not officially supported, you can trick the system by 
replacing one of the existing

bullet types with your own.
In Windows the directory of the bullets is: C:\Program 
Files\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\share\gallery\bullets
To use a specific bullet types you modify the type of bullet by 
pressing *F**11 *and select the Graphic tab.


I tried that (and that didn't work) but then I noticed that you can 
choose a graphic enumeration type on the options tab and then you can 
choose any graphic file (also PNG) to server as your bullet. BUT you 
have to set height the same or smaller then the first line height. So... 
not what I'm looking for. In my case I would have to be able to set a 
floating style for the image.

Nux.
