OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more.
It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also
read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.



OpenOffice is my favorite software suite but compared to Microsoft Office OpenOffice takes more time to load.

If you change a couple of settings the programs almost start instantly, maybe even faster than Microsofts Office 2003



Start OpenOffice and click on Tools > Options. This should open the configuration. Click on Memory in the left menu and change the following settings:

Number of Steps: 30
Use for Open Office: 128
Memory per Object: 20
Number of Objects: 20


6221

Click on Java in the left menu afterwards and uncheck: Use a Java Runtime Environment.
Click OK and restart OpenOffice to see how fast it is now. :01:

This was always my biggest gripe with star office which I think later became open office
