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 2.4
"Well designed expanded version of OpenOffice."
Pros: While a long download, OxygenOffice Professional is indeed worth the wait. The system is easy to use adn there is a bare minimal amount of difference from the commercial MS Office, a few bits are coded slightly differently but any user familiar with MS Office can use this immediately on picking it up.
While some of the more advanced features may be slightly different in places they are not glaring so and are well documented so the switch from MS Office to OxygenOffice Professional is a simple and painless one. As a final note it also supports a lot of formats which makes it highly desirable due to maximum compatibility. There is also the option of plugins for even more file formats.
Cons: The load time is slightly longer then one would like but this is only a minor issue and is not a glaring problem.

"I canceled download it was taking too long."
Pros: I used to have open office org, it was good, but didn't have the clip art properties I needed. I would however think it would be good.
