I should just clarify that it is the text in the dialog box that I'm considering changing (because it's got so many (s)), not the actual description of the...

Thanks Geoff. I think I will try and get them to rename the dialog box so that we can eliminate those (s)'s everywhere. They really look wonky in there. ...

Has anyone documented or worked with OpenOffice.org? My question is: can we simply document it as OpenOffice, or do we need to always include the ".org" ...

I'm always using it, I simply droped using MS-office You should check at their license if there's any sort of legal stuff about that, but I have used open...
My guess would be, when referring to them that you can just say "Open Office" and skip the dot-org. But have you contacted them directly or viewed their own...
Hi ... I have the program. The program's title bar, and all accompanying documents refer to the product as "OpenOffice.org". So I'd say that's the name. You...
