<div dir="ltr">Yep .. Open Office is really the only thing that works for our Cambodian secondary students to type in Khmer (due thanks to the programmers behind the KhmerOS software initiative and their government and little thanks for the rest of the world for ignoring their plight). We also use it on our admin computers, mini-notebooks, macbooks and the sunray terminals scheduled for deployment during term 4. Where it is deployed inside Windows, we coinstall it with MS Office.<br>
<br>The second beta 3.0 version is now stable enough to use in the classroom and practically a release candidate. Firefox users will be interested to check out the cool gallery of addons that can be bolted on. Enjoy :-)<br>
