I already own MS Office for Mac in its current version. There is nothing standard about Microsoft Word except for its ubiquity. Surely you can make faster progress than you have demonstrated to allow users like me (who are numerous, especially in certain disciplines) use your product most productively with alternative workflow strategies than the so-called de facto “standard” I stopped using Word years ago and I find it a major defect in any product that its use, as a general or generic capability for a task set, is restricted to specific proprietary products from third parties (in this case, two of the largest vendors in this market: Microsoft and Apple). One impediment for me in doing so is the dilatory effort at creating this plug-in or driver for OpenOffice, or any other word processor (other than Apple’s product) than Microsoft Word. I just received your email for upgrading to X4 (from X3 in my case). Released under the terms of the Apache License, Base is free software.I’ve been a licensed user of EndNote since v.2 Starting with version 2.3, Base will offer report generation based on Pentaho software. In addition, OpenOffice has its own Form wizard to create dialog windows for form filling and updates. OpenOffice Base can then act as a GUI frontend for SQL views, table design and query. OpenOffice users, however, can choose to connect to an external full-featured SQL database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and even Oracle through ODBC or JDBC drivers. They have been asking for contributions to complete all the feature targets, since the inner database engine is an independent project with no outside funding. The HSQLDB developers have suggested only 76% of the target has been met in the 1.8.0 release, which is the version that was integrated (merged) with OOo 2.0. Currently it is based on the HSQLDB database engine written in Java. OpenOffice Base is the database module released with OpenOffice version 2.0 and later.
