/FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE/
SANTA CLARA, CA---05 January 2007--- NeoOffice.org is pleased to
announce the development and forthcoming release of NeoOffice 2.1.
Scheduled for release in Q1 2007, NeoOffice 2.1 will contain a number of
unique features including:
* The latest features from OpenOffice.org 2.1
* Opening, editing, and saving of Microsoft Office 2007 OpenXML
documents
* Execution of Visual Basic for Applications macros in Excel documents
* Support for linear programming extensions for spreadsheets
* And more!
Support for interoperability with Microsoft Office 2007 OpenXML
formatted documents and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is drawn
from the ooo-build project, a branch of OpenOffice.org that includes
several features which Sun has not yet integrated up-stream. ooo-build
is a collaboration between many individuals & vendors spearheaded by
Novell. Leveraging the ongoing contributions from ooo-build,
NeoOffice.org is pleased to deliver the most compatible office
productivity application suite for Mac OS X for today and beyond.
NeoOffice.org is proud to collaborate with ooo-build to help make these
important features available for all Mac owners. "It's great to have
NeoOffice making their work available under the JCA to OpenOffice.org
via. ooo-build, and building on our substantial investment here, I'm
excited about working with them going forward." said Michael Meeks,
Distinguished Engineer, Novell.
The NeoOffice 2.1 release will allow Mac users to utilize OpenXML
documents prior to the announced availability of translators from
Microsoft. With Microsoft's announced intention to remove VBA support in
Microsoft Office Mac 2007, NeoOffice 2.1 will be one of the only
available ongoing solutions for Mac users who use VBA macros in their
Excel documents.
NeoOffice 2.1 is currently scheduled for release on 27 March 2007. The
scheduled preliminary availability for NeoOffice Early Access Program
members is 27 February 2007. With many thanks to an anonymous donor and
the work pioneered by Novell, NeoOffice.org is proud to be able to
continue to provide the most advanced set of office productivity
applications available for Mac OS X with industry leading support for
cross platform document exchange.
