First Patch for NeoOffice 2.2.4 Out

NeoOffice users who've recently updated to version 2.2.4 can now download the first patch for their favorite free office suite of apps. NeoOffice 2.2.4 Patch 1 includes fixes, weighs in at 11MB and is available as a free download right here on Softpedia.

NeoOffice is a full-featured set of office applications developed especially for Mac OS X. It includes word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing and database programs. The application is based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, integrating native Mac features. It boasts the ability to import, edit and exchange files with other office programs. Most Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are supported, as well as Excel VBA Macros.

With the release of NeoOffice 2.2.3, the app suite offered QuickTime video support for the first time (but only for Mac OS X 10.4.x and higher), with the ability to import images from scanners and cameras, for different kinds of projects. NeoOffice version 2.2.3 also brought command-clicking on window title bar and Mac OS X Leopard grammar checking support.

NeoOffice 2.2.4 adds native floating tool windows and magnify & swipe trackpad gestures for MacBook users. For those who've had trouble with horizontal scrolling in NeoOffice 2.2.3, horizontal scroll wheel support has also been added in 2.2.4.

The first patch for NeoOffice 2.2.4 fixes a few bugs and even a "possible" bug. Those include:

- an issue where clipping of background images failed when printing
- a problem where Fontwork was missing or banded when printing
- possible crashes at startup or when editing a form in Base due to preferences corruption

Users should note that NeoOffice 2.2.4 Patch-1 requires a full installation of NeoOffice 2.2.4 or NeoOffice 2.2.3 with NeoOffice 2.2.4 Patch-0 and will not install on any version of NeoOffice 2.2.2. Patch-1 includes all fixes and additions of previous patches.
