O-O packages for implementing office suite APIs

Introduction

Office Suites

OpenOffice

OpenOffice 1 is a free office suite based on Star Office.

Google Docs

Google Docs 2 is also a free office suite. It follows the recent trend of transferring more executables online, making them easily available from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Microsoft Word

Microsoft 3 has long had a reputation for being closed and anti-competitive and entered the API game very late. It is now trying to catch up with the big boys.
