OpenOffice "4kids" and "light"; OOo4kids1.3 and OOolight1.1

#1 Post by mavrothal »

OOo4kids and OOolight are trimmed down (no database) Apache OpenOfice with a simplified UI (at the "beginner" level).
The differences between "4kids" and "light" are limited (ie number of rows and columns in spreadsheets).
I *think* the "kids" version is more maintained that the "light" (but you may not want a "kids" software as your office suite :P )

I modified and packed ooo4kids1.3 and ooolight1.1 in SFSs appropriate for Puppies. They work in anything from Luci to ArchPup and everything in between. At 80MB they work fairly well in low spec machines and can handle most docx, pptx and xlsx files without problems. In my 1GHz machine they are "fast" and in my 450MHz one "adequate".

So here are the files
OOo4kids_1.3_en.sfs md5sum: 5ebae4ee21a518224488d88caae8d43a
OOolight_1.1_en.sfs md5sum: 4b6a352496a2ac2dac312271bb8f8fe8

Please report problems with the "puppyfication" (menus, right click, file association etc) here, but core issues are better reported with the developers of the programs (see top links)

Thanks. Will these run ok on a system that has no Java installed?

Does anyone have the PET file for these? (OOo4kids1.3 and OOolight1.1) For some reason, my SFS converter won't do the job.
