OpenOffice.org 1.1 review

Wednesday 19 November 2003, 4:26 PM

All you need for office work


Perfect for producing all kind of documents you need in regular office work. Some limitations when it comes to exchanging documents with users of other office suites, but the built in pdf-convertor does the thing, if editing is not a necessity.

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
