Q: What is the Best Office Suite?
A: Microsoft Office is the king of the hill in this
category. There are several versions available and the
price varies widely - and believe me, Microsoft is proud of
it. You can read all about it on the Microsoft Office website.
On the other hand, you could pay a much better price - FREE!
- and use OpenOffice instead. OpenOffice is
a free, open source alternative to Office. It reads
and writes all the Microsoft Office file formats, so you can
easily interact with people who use that product. The
only module of Microsoft Office that OpenOffice does not
have a compatible module for is Outlook - so you'll have to
use Mozilla Thunderbird or another email
client instead. I use OpenOffice myself - in fact I
compose all my reports and eBooks in it as it has a
fantastic PDF export option. Before you spend any
money on Microsoft Office, at least download OpenOffice and
check it out. You'll be very pleasantly surprised, and
save a lot of money too.
