Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Spun off from OpenOffice.org, OxygenOffice Pro is virtually the same program, but with a few more features. Fortunately, it's much like its parent, and you can opt out of whatever features you dislike during the installation.
Originally called OpenOffice Premium, a misnomer like the current "pro" designation, the interface and basic functions remain unchanged from the source. OxygenOffice is all about the add-ons. Most notably it comes with a huge clip-art and photo gallery, 3,400 images strong and easy to drop into any Oxygen document. There are also extra fonts, templates, and sample docs included, useful for those who have forgotten or need a refresher for business letter formats and such, but they're not for every user.
One function that should have wide appeal is OooWikipedia, which lets you search Wikipedia without having to jump to your browser. Support for Visual Basic in Excel, and smoother WordPerfect document and graphics importation are small but useful improvements. There are also enhanced help menus and user's manuals, nice touches that reflect the extras that Oxygen gives. Despite these extras, we'd like to see more OpenOffice plug-ins included before making this a must-have.

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.3.1
"Comparible to Microsoft Office and OH! the savings!"
Pros: Basically Open Office with a few more packaged extras this is one excellent office suite. It's Rock solid base gives this a stability that Microsoft can only dream about, and if your tired of getting battered by the high price of Microsoft Software but still want a good office suite, then give this one a whirl. Got friends who haven't seen the light and are still using office? You can save you documents in the MS Office file formats by just selecting "Save As" and then send them and they will be able to open them also.
Cons: From time to time a MS Doc will fail to convert properly but this is rare and the stability more than makes up for this.

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.3.1
Pros: This is one great suite of products. There is nothing I can find that does not work as planned
Cons: A bit confusing in the download as it does not change the name of the install program or at least I didn't see that it did

Version: OxygenOffice Professional 2.3.1
"Everything you'd want in an Office product...for FREE!"
Pros: I'm so glad I didn't cough up $500+ for software that can all be done for no cost. What most people don't know is that you can still download the extra Office fonts and clipart for FREE from the Microsoft website. Now I have a full functional Office Suite with all the common fonts and clipart and didn't pay a dime!
Cons: It's a little different if you're used to MS Office, but it's fairly easy to learn.
