Open Office 3
Open Office v.3 has been released finally. I did the beta with it for a bit but I had a few issues with the performance so I've been waiting for the finally release. I just got it installed about an hour ago.
So far the main improvement I've found is the language tool. This tool helps you with any minor grammar mistakes that you may have made on top of your spelling mistakes. It is a tool that I have a real need for. I used it on one of my current works in progresses and man did I see a lot of of silly mistakes.
For example, I can see where in the document I was when I was either think or distracted because I add an extra space when I start typing again.
The language tool will help me see where I need to work on my skills as a writer because I know my grammar is very rusty.
I'm off to run all my other w.i.p files through the language tool now. Then when I go back to them I'm not worried about my inner editor causing problems and wasting time.
