Not sure how often you guys use MS Office at home which includes Excel, PowerPoint, Word and depending on your version, other programs like Publisher and FrontPage.
Well, here is another alternative for all those programs that is FREE to download. It is called OpenOffice which includes comparable versions of Excel called Calc, PowerPoint called Presentations, Word called Writer and even includes a Frontpage sorta clone.
You can save files as OpenOffice documents, or also as Word documents and even export them to PDF files too. So those family and friend who do not have OpenOffice but a MS program can still open your documents.
It is a FREE alternative to the MS Office.
Maybe some of you have have used it. We use it daily at work and at home and I thought I would post it just in case some of my fellow CAGs would like a cheap office suite to use.
