The goal of NeoOffice is to provide an entirely free and complete
Mac OS X office suite based on the international OpenOffice.org
projectâ??only with the look-and-feel you'd expect from any Macintosh
application.

That's one of the reasons I tried it out on Mac. I liked it a lot. Up
until I printed something. I'd already used in on linux and liked it
well enough. But it's not always preinstalled. And I don't use any word
processor very much. So I use what's there, whcih is nearly always
OpenOffice.
