OpenOffice.org 2.0 RC1 -- 2:02 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I recently downloaded OpenOffice.org 2.0 RC1. This is a release candidate, not an official release. You may remember that some time ago I downloaded a beta version of OOo and saw that it really needed work. I'm pleased to report that RC1 is much faster than the beta. Of course, it fully supports OpenDocument, which I will be moving all my docs to.

The WordPerfect importer works substantially better. It works well with outlines now. The only "problem" I've found is with a calendar I used in WP. The main table for the calendar itself came out fine, but the mini-tables in the upper right and left with the previous and next months didn't convert. Other than that it has dealt with everything I've thrown at it.

Overall, I think that OOo 2.0 has improved enough that I will start transitioning to it from OOo 1.1.5. Check it out if you haven't already. As an aside, after a little bit of testing, OOo 1.1.5's OpenDocument importer seems to work great.
