OpenOffice 3.1.1 RC1 is now available to the general public, OpenOffice.org has announced. Version 3.1.1 RC1 brings a full page’s worth of fixes and enhancements, and fans can download the latest version of the open-source suite right here on
Softpedia.
Among the major changes mentioned in the changelog for OpenOffice 3.1.1 RC1 is the fact that the key combination Ctrl+F11 doesn't call the Style Catalog anymore. Instead, the respective combination of key presses now puts the focus into the style ListBox in the toolbox of text, frames, OLE-objects and pictures, the release notes say. “It makes it easier to apply a paragraph or frame style without using a mouse,” according to the developers.
Sorting has also been improved, according to the documentation accompanying the build. Given that sorting preserves the original order of entries with equal sort keys, the sort dialog defaults to the column of the cursor position if there are no previous sort settings. Additionally, the toolbar buttons always use the cursor position, while they employ the same logic as the sort dialog to determine if a range has column headers.
“OpenOffice.org 3 is the result of over twenty years' software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the software. The result: OpenOffice.org 3 does everything you want your office software to do, the way you want it to,” say the people at OpenOffice.org.
“OpenOffice.org 3 is easy to learn, and if you're already using another office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice.org 3 straight away. Our world-wide native-language community means that OpenOffice.org 3 is probably available and supported in your own language. And if you already have files from another office package - OpenOffice.org 3 will probably read them with no difficulty,” the company adds.
