(TheForceField.net ) January 27, 2009 — The OpenOffice.org Community officially announced the  release of OpenOffice.org 3.1 to the public today. OpenOffice.org 3.1 is the latest release of the open source office suite originally developed by Sun Microsystems and is considered by many to be one of few serious competitors of Microsoft Office.

The latest version of OpenOffice.org addresses several minor issues and bug fixes and includes enhanced support for grammer checkers as well as an increase to the number of words in word lists. OpenOffice.org 3.1 is considered a minor update to 3.0, released on October 13, 2008.
