For millions of Linux and UNIX users, the 100% free, community-source licensed StarOffice has become the program that finally made Windows superfluous. Now, there's a comprehensive, task-based guide to making the most of StarOffice -- straight from Sun Microsystems, the product's developer! StarOffice Companion covers every major component of StarOffice: StarWriter word processing, the StarWeb built-in browser; StarCalc spreadsheets; Starlmpress presentations; the StarDraw and StarImage graphics tools; StarSchedule scheduling; StarMail and the StarOffice address book; the StarBase database, and more. From start to finish, the book is designed to focus on the most important features in each module -- and the tasks and tips users need to maximize their productivity. Well written and exquisitely well organized, this book fills the only missing link that has prevented even more users from embracing StarOffice: the absence of excellent documentation.
