2 free Office Suite you should try

1 October 2009 409 views No Comment

With so many Office Suites available you dont have to look for or purchase Microsoft office anymore. Yes, it is free. Let me introduce three of the best Office Suites available.

OpenOffice

It comes with Writer (MS Word), Calc (Excel), Impress(Powerpoint) and Base(Access).

IBM Lotus Symphony

Another popular and powerful suite. It is actually derived from OpenOffice.

You can do word processing, presentations and spreadsheet with ease.

Concluding

I am currently using the IBM Lotus Symphony right now. The layout is different and at times I get confused where to find the options. Though all the options are present right on the screen, being used to Microsoft Office my mind naturally looks for similar UI.

OpenOffice has layout that is similar to MS Office and easy to use. Here I am talking about layout of MS office 2003 and earlier. The latest versions of MS Office has ‘sucky’ layout. Ribbon?

If you dont want to spend a dime use one of the recommended Office Suites.
