Important Features with 2.x

New enhanced Database Features

OpenOffice.org always had database frontend tools, but in past versions they were very

hidden. OpenOffice.org 2.x starts to handle databases like any other application, i.e. a new

database can be created via the "File > New" menu. For novice users OpenOffice.org

provides a new Table Wizard that allows to create database tables without any knowledge of

databases and SQL. The new embedded Java technology based HSQLDB database engine

allows to create "database documents". These simple database files don't require a backend

database server like MySQL or Adabas D. All information (table definitions, data, queries,

forms, reports) is stored in one XML file.

Query-in-Query is available with OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 as database queries are an essential

feature of any database management system. This feature provides the user with the

possibility to customize the view to the data. A database query now assembles, filters, and

sorts information spread over multiple tables of the relational database.

Mail Merge Wizard

The new Mail Merge Wizard will make it very easy to do mailings to hundreds of recipients.

The wizard guides users step by step through the process. Different data sources can be used

for the address information. There are differences though from 1.1.x.

Enhanced Word Count Feature

With 1.1.x, it was only possible to find document statistics under "File - Properties ..." or by

installing a word count macro to count the number of words in a selection. OpenOffice.org

2.0 eliminates this restriction. Now a new word count dialogue can be found in the "Tools"

menu.

Support for Nested Tables

With OpenOffice.org 2.0 it is now possible to create tables within tables (nested tables). This

increases the overall usability, but also improves the Microsoft Word compatibility.

Digital Signatures Support

Another new feature is the support of digital signatures. OpenOffice.org uses certificates

stored in the regular repositories.

XForms Support

OpenOffice.org 2.0 now allows to create forms based on the open W3C XForms standard.

With XForms it is very easy to implement simple logic without any programming.
