Title: Open Office
Post by: Clive on May 01, 2003, 19:35

Has anyone tried Open Office?  Apparently it is almost identical to Microsoft Office and opens all Word and Excel documents.  The only difference is that Microsoft Office costs £300 whereas Open Office is a free download.

The website is:

It is supposed to be very close to Microsoft Office Clive.

Somehow, I just haven't got around to downloading it yet. Must be all the free (and totally legal) Microsoft software I get from work :heehee: :baad:
