Interesting.  It looks like SoftMaker Office is in the ports tree, at:

    /usr/ports/editors/softmaker-office

I'll have to consider whether it's worth investigating as an alternative
to OO.o for my own purposes.  I'd rather not spend money on something
that I never use except when someone else "forces" me to do so, against
my better judgment and preferences, but it might be worth a few dollars
to avoid the annoyance of dealing with OO.o on the rare occasion that I
do need something MS Office compatible.
