What our customer's say!

"Awesome alternative to MS Office", Using the program is very simple, and all programs in Star Office can be saved in MS Office formats. A awesome alternative to MS Office.

"Far more than just an office suite.", StarOffice 5.2 has most all the office component capabilities one needs; spreadsheet, word processor, database, draw program, visual basic and macros, etc. However, with OpenOffice.org developer support, this core "office suite" is only a starting point for many possible applications. Applications interfaces such as "point of sale" or "scientific instrumentation" can be built on this office component core. StarOffice 5.2 is, in effect, a visual component library that works on many operating system and hardware platforms. This puts StarOffice in a class by itself.

"HELP!", I am not a dummy, but I think that I need StarOffice 5.2 for Dummies also. As one of the others has stated. I have had nothing but problems getting this thing installed and finally gave up! It is just a big mess! And now I cannot get it to completely uninstall and it is causing a lot of complications with my system? I cannot understand what is going on here. I have tried everything! It seems it isn't installed completely, so I can't actually use it, but I can't uninstall anything more than I already have and my systems still says it is there and it is reaking havoc on my system! I am glad to see that there a few other people out there that seems to be having the same problem that I have. I thought I was losing my mind for a while there.
ARGH!

"Best office", StarOffice 5.2 is the best office suite to get. ITS FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND ITS POWERFULL

"Star Office Comments", Basically an excellent program but with some irritating faults. The help menu is fragmented and unco-ordinated and it does have difficulty opening some MS documents. The biggest fault, I find, is that with labels it truncates the right hand row so that only half the labels are usable without a lot of adjusting. You can look in Page Preview for a label and all is correct but on printing all the right hand lettering is missing, also it sometimes insists on printing registration marks in the middle of the label, seemingly at random. Otherwise, excellent incorporation of spreadsheets into documents and very easy to use with excellent HTML editing.

"With a little time...", This is an outstanding product at an unbelievable price. It is easily as strong as MS office, and considering that it is an all-in-one application, probably stronger. It works on virtually any platform and can read and save to any file format with something like 99% compatibility.

The only drawbacks are a not-so-user-friendly Help agent and a marginally high learning curve for some parts of the application. Some of the vocabluary used is different from what most MS users are used to, so the transition is a little tough. I also purchased the StarOffice 5.2 companion, which answers every question that has stumped me, though.

Once you get used to the desktop and working environment you will never go back to MS.

"Good Product, Who Knows, 1st You Have to Install It!", I purchased this full program from Amazon.com. I have tried for two days to install it (from an experienced user). I have had others who are very experienced in installing and running software on several different platforms. Nothing works. I am trying to install it on a Dell Latitude with Windows 98.

I have downloaded the patch available at the Sun Web site, no good. I have followed all the instructions over and over and over. No good. I have deinstalled, reinstalled. No good. I have read through reams of other similiar problems at the Sun Web site, no good.

I would love to be able to use StarOffice5.2. I did my homework first. It appears to be a great program. But what a hassle it has been trying to install it.

Again this is from an experienced user who has installed hundreds of other programs of ALL kinds on several different platforms and systems. But THIS installation has me stumped.

What happened to purchasing software, dropping in the CD, installing it, and simply running it. That's all I wanted. Instead, I have had one endless headache.

"Easy and does it all.", I loaded StarOffice5.2 on a Windodws 98 PC and love it. It takes a few clicks to get the hang of it, but it does anything you want, and it does it all from the same interface. I am writting this after simply typing in the web address to Amazon.com in the address bar, which opened the built-in browser window, boom! so it is like having all of the programs you use in one.

It has an Explorer sidebar, plus plenty of function specific button bars for wordprocessing, html editing, or spreadsheets, etc.

This is NOT a hard program to use. I thought it would be a hassle but wanted to try it, and I am glad I did. Matches Word in functions and features, and you don't get that "M$ overcharged me again because they can" feeling. It comes with a good manual and the price is GREAT. Enjoy.

"What to say?", Well I know a lot of people who have Star Office on their computer. They either still end-up buying Microsoft Office or uninstalling Star Office it self. But the price it-self is astounding. This product is for people who are doing essential things such as writing letter, and short documents. Most of the persons I talked have said that its little bit difficult use but you kind of eventually get the hang of it. But I'm really not into that, I would put that [money] aside and save put it towards saving for Microsoft Office or Works Suite which offers a lot of software for just [money]. But if you are using some other operating system apart from Windows such Linux, go for it because Microsoft won't be making any Office XP for this any time soon. Put it this way, Linux people buy it, Windows people it's optional.
