Hi,

Most Mac users should stick with NeoOffice. The builds from the
OpenOffice web site do not support Visual Basic for Applications and the
2.4 build doesn't have the integrated XML document converter. NeoOffice
has both of those things.

Windows users who are not developers should consider OxygenOffice builds
for the same reasons, IMHO.

OxygenOffice and NeoOffice are derived from Go OpenOffice, so they have
something important in common. Go OpenOffice is a "downstream" of the
OpenOffice builds from the OpenOffice web site. The "upstream" builds
lack add-ins and other functionality that one might expect from an out
of the box product. NeoOffice and OxygenOffice are further downstream,
meaning they have more functionality.

For anyone interested in how to do hyperlinked TOC's:
