No, have a look at Libre Office.
Open Office is dead, and Libre Office is the spiritual continuation of the project.
Fair enough, I learned something new today as well.
Google it.
Short version is developers didn't agree with the rights restrictions imposed so they left. First build of libra was the oo code (which hadn't been updated in ages) with bits fixed but it's being constantly improved in the way oo hasn't in years.

I use Google docs and it seems good.
