We have used Microsoft Office for years, decided to try OpenOffice. We found it not very user friendly and our existing MS Office documents often did not open well, so we went back to MS Office. The product might be better if used from the begfinning instead of using it with MS Office documents.

Open Office 3 is a good alternative to using high priced Microsoft Software. There are some compatibility issues, but they are few and far between. For the most part any document you have that you saved in Microsoft Office will open using Open Office 3. What’s more is you can download it for free or if you don’t have that kind of internet speed or just want a physical copy buy it here on Amazon. There’s even a version with support included. If you are tired of shelling out $100-$400 every time Microsoft decides they want to make a lot more money. Get Open Office. Open Office Works.

Frankly I got Open Office b/c I didn’t want to spend the money for MS Office. Over the years I’ve used MS Office, MS Works and Corel products but I found it difficult to even get moving on Open Office. The outstanding thing is that as soon as I emailed for support I got a half dozen responses w/workable solutions to getting Works or Office things I’d saved to run in Open Office. A great community of users!! If you’re flexible, got the brains and experience I’m certain you could easily use Open Office but it’s not for a beginner or even a middle experience type such as me.
