Libre Office 4 and SoftMaker Office
I was just looking at the PC World comments about Libre Office 4. Some were not all that good. I'm running W7 Pro
Six good reasons to download LibreOffice 4.0 | PCWorld Someone mentioned this: If you're looking for an office suite with real interoperability, a pretty UI and high speed, choose SoftMaker Office. It's the only office package I know to offer seamless file transfers between Microsoft Office without loss of formats. I write in Word Perfect 8 which I have on every computer, but I've got just one copy of MS Word. I really need more, but with the book in the last stages of editing, and as an old dog, I just don't dare spend too much time learning new tricks. Any thoughts? . |

I've tended to stick with OpenOffice 3.4. I figure that the LibreOffice folks are more interested in GeeWhiz than in stodgy stability. Something of the frequent-new-versions mentality of some distros of Linux.
That said, I discovered that OO Wrtier doesn't display "watermarks" in at least some DOCX documents seacue. |

It's free and in its own quiet way remarkably good. It is also the only non-MS suite that seems to handle complex Powerpoint presentations accurately - remarkable! Also has a built-in browser that is surprisingly convenient. Give it a go (I'm considering standardising the office on it...still testing). Mac :ok: |
It really depends on what you want, i.e. which functions you really need or make use of on a regular basis.
I'm still a fan of OO 3.4.x as it handles large files well (better than MS Word) and, to me, is intuitive. |
