Not currently, though there's an ITP (intent to package) OpenOffice, the free software version of StarOffice. Best bet is to go to the OpenOffice website and grab a build that's known to work. You can also get StarOffice from Sun or other sources, either via download or on CDROM. Peace. -- Karsten M.
