OpenOffice.org 1.1 review

Saturday 8 November 2003, 2:32 PM

BANG! for the no buck ;-)


Incredible product. I will buy StarOffice 7.0 for the better spell checker. However for the lack of money and great import/export of MS file formats it is a no-brainer in most cases.

Overview

OpenOffice.org 1.1

Rating: 8.0
Verdict

This feature-rich, flexible and, above all, free office suite is much more than a refuge for the anti-Microsoft tendency. It works, it’s reliable and it’s useful.

Typical price

Free

Featured Talkback
