key features of openoffice.org novell edition for windows
openoffice.org novell edition for windows contains enhancements and
bug fixes, especially for interoperability with microsoft office and
other word processing programs, that are not available in the standard
edition. these enhancements include:
[changelog]
-microsoft excel
compatibility: added support for multiple formula syntax for cell and
cell range addresses and formula expressions: calc a1 - the
traditional format (default), excel a1, and excel r1c1. text numbers
and dates are interpreted as numbers or dates when appropriate,
similar to how excel interprets text as numbers or dates.
openoffice.org novell edition allows toggling of cell grid lines per
sheet. also supports: user-defined tab colors, phonetic function
support for japanese phonetic guides, showing/hiding data from hidden
rows in charts, correct rendering of charts with mixed chart types,
excel export encryption, document and sheet protection password &
limited sheet protection options, external range names, and many
details of the calc user interface have been tweaked to make migration
from excel to openoffice.org easier.
-excel vba macro interoperability
openoffice.org novell edition eases the migration of many macros from
microsoft excel. although not all macros can be successfully migrated,
this interoperability offers more than the standard edition, which
does not support migration of macros.
-data pilots
data pilots are interoperable with microsoft office pivottables.
openoffice.org novell edition substantially improves the data pilot
feature, making it possible to edit pilots after creation, allowing to
assign custom field names, field members names, subtotal and grand
total names, showing popup window for quick editing of show/hide field
members, and defaulting to a new sheet for new tables.
-enhanced fonts
licensed fonts from agfa* monotype* which are metrically identical and
visually compatible with some of the key microsoft fonts. this allows
openoffice.org novell edition to match fonts when opening documents
originally composed in microsoft office, and very closely match
pagination and page formatting.

many improvments of the import.
