What is Apache OpenOffice?
Apache OpenOffice is a free, open-source desktop office suite with Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base and Math. It uses OpenDocument formats and provides import and export capabilities for other document types. Its macOS requirements describe Intel software running through Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon, which matters when scoping a modern Mac rollout. Buyers should verify the output formats and automation they need rather than assuming that opening a Microsoft file guarantees a complete round trip.
