I've used Open Office for several years and prefer it to Word. I especially appreciate the ability to PDF things!

open office is a great program and I like it even better than ms office

It is, isn't it?

I always get very annoyed with Bill Gates when Windows updates and re-sets my preferences so that documents open in Word instead of OO. lol

The only component of Open Office that I haven't fully investigated is the PowerPoint counterpart. It looks pretty simple, but I do know it didn't want to run a presentation I'd created in PP quite right.

Otherwise, the spreadsheets and text documents are fabulous. I love the way tables get inserted - and graphics, too!

For those unaware, OO is made by the same community of developers who do things like Mozilla and Thunderbird.

It's an awesome piece of software!

Didn't that many pieces of different software was out there in word's place, cool!

Thank You!! I am downloading open office right now
