14 DAY TRIAL // Integrating Mac-native features, NeoOffice is based on the OpenOffice.org office suite. The software boasts the ability to import, edit and exchange files with other office apps. Most Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are supported, as are Excel VBA Macros. The software requires that you have at least 512 MB of memory and 400 MB of free disk space.
The team of developers maintaining the software has issued a new version, NeoOffice 3.1.1, adding new features to NeoOffice mobile, and native Mac OS X text highlighting. The release notes also mention “Open Calc or Impress instead of Writer at launch.”
“NeoOffice is a full-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs) for Mac OS X. We have created an office suite that is adapted to the unique needs of Mac users by taking the features in Sun Microsystems' OpenOffice.org office suite and adding improvements such as: Extremely stable Mac OS X code that has been in daily use by hundreds of thousands of NeoOffice users since 2003; Significant speed improvements to the OpenOffice.org code; Special services for our donors,” the team behind one of the most popular word-processing applications for Mac OS X says.
For those who haven’t been in the loop lately, NeoOffice Mobile is a solution that provides a way to securely share NeoOffice files with other users and other computers. NeoOffice Mobile is web-based and works by allowing users to “publish” a document from within NeoOffice to the NeoOffice Mobile server using a secure, encrypted connection.

Due to very low donation levels, the team responsible with maintaining NeoOffice announced last year that it was forced to make some cutbacks in the services that it provided to users (learn more here).
