Free Alternative To Microsoft Office
Copyright 2005 Jim Edwards
Anyone who ever priced the Microsoft Office Suite knows it
represents a significant investment.
A quick check of the CompUSA.com website shows Microsoft Office
Standard costs $399 and Microsoft Office Professional will set
you back $449. Now, this doesn't discount the value of the
software.
In fact, the functionality in MS Office represents the true
workhorse of home and small business computing, namely: word
processing (Word), spreadsheets (Excel), presentations
(PowerPoint), and desktop database applications (Access).
However, with the cost for such functionality at a premium, it
comes as no surprise that a viable alternative emerged to
challenge Microsoft's position atop the office application
market.
OpenOffice.org offers a suite of office software applications
free to download for anyone with a computer, including PC's
operating with Windows or Linux.
Open Office also offers a free version for Macintosh computers.
Open Office offers its software freely to anyone who wants to
download it.
Their all-volunteer organization, sponsored in large part by Sun
Microsystems, operates with the noble goal of making
productivity software available worldwide in 36 languages,
particularly to economies that simply can't afford the cost of
other office solutions.
The Open Office software publishes in the Open Document Format
to make data universally available (instead of using proprietary
file formats that, for instance, make it hard to share between
Microsoft Word and Word Perfect).
Open Office contains several main components, each of which help
the user with specific tasks.
Writer - This software offers a full-featured word-processing
program enabling the user to type letters, brochures, faxes,
even entire books.
No matter what you need to type, this program
lets you do it. It also offers such features as spell check,
auto-correction, and thesaurus.
Calc - Calc offers a spreadsheet program enabling the user to
create cells containing text or digits, execute simple and
complex calculations, database functions, and more. Calc is
perfect for accounting spreadsheets, inventory and more.
Impress - Impress enables the user to create "slideshow"
presentations containing text and images for use in sales or
group presentations. Impress also allows the user to create
impressive slide transition effects and eye-catching animation.
Draw - Draw gives the user the ability to create simple to
complex drawings using vector graphics. Users can create
drawings by hand, or incorporate an array of existing shapes,
arrows, lines and other graphics.
Though it does represent an excellent alternative to expensive
office software suites, Open Office is not without a few
drawbacks.
Since they make the software available free of charge, tech
support for the free version only lasts 30 days. Also, by its
nature, the software is a "work in progress."
As such, you will find bugs periodically that should get
reported to the Open Office website so they can fix them.
However, despite these drawbacks, Open Office software rates a
"must look" if you need word processing, spreadsheets and other
capabilities we've naturally come to associate with home and
small business computing.
