The beta of Lotus Symphony 3.0 is now available. Among key new features in Symphony 3.0 are VB Macros support, ODF 1.2 support for improved file interoperability, and embedded audio/video allowing users to add media directly to slides, documents and sheets, and autotext support to create "chunks" of text that are used frequently and quickly inserted.
