It's a free office suite that's compatible with Microsoft Office files. I've got in on my computer at work. I've been fooling around with it, and it's a pretty solid program. If you're looking for an alternative to MS Office, this one's pretty good considering that it's free. Anyone else try it?

I have not tried it yet but I have heard that it is a good alternative to office.It can do all the basic things that office does and even more.
Will have to give it a try sooner or later...

OpenOffice also has some features that MS Office doesn't have like a built-in PDF converter (that comes in handy for some of the work that I have to do). Lately, I've been using OpenOffice more often than MS Office.

The above is the link to either order a copy of it on CD-ROM from an online seller or download it via P2P for free. Don't buy the link on eBay (if anyone is actually thinking about it). It's crazy the way people try to take advantage of other people sometimes.

Ive had to load ubuntu onto my laptop since XP crashed and Open Office comes pre-loaded and Its a very nice suite though truthfully the second I get XP running again Im going to instal the new MS Office just because thats what I learned and I already know all the tricks and shortcuts.
