Ever heard of OpenOffice? Well it’s an office suite to rival that of MS Office. The major difference between the two of them is that OpenOffice is FREE!
That is correct dear readers, I said free. The learning curve is not steep at all either. If you know your way around MS Office, it is not a huge leap to learn to navigate in OpenOffice either.
In OpenOffice you have Writer, which is the word processing equivalent of MS Word. You also will find Calc in OpenOffice, which is the equivalent of MS excel. Then there is Impress which is the equivalent of MS PowerPoint. You will also find Math and Draw in OpenOffice.
I didn’t really know much about OpenOffice until Dave Hartsock asked me to start writing articles about it for him and now I feel pretty secure using it. If you would like to read some of my articles, hop on over to Dave‘s site and subscribe to his FREE newsletter. He has an archive of my older articles as well as all the other great in formation on his site.
You can download OpenOffice for free here so go ahead and give it a whirl. I think you will like it.
