Open Office Open Office
is a free Offfice Suite which has proven to be an alternatvie to Microsoft Office except for one thing that I mentioned, it's FREE.
There are many other sites dedicated to Open Office and even those that offer Open Office Tutorials. OpenOffice.org is a collection of different
applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components
are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include: - Writer — a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable
range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference
between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in
Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.
- Calc — a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features
not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's
data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.
- Impress — a presentation program similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It can export
presentations to Adobe Flash (SWF) files allowing them to be played on any computer with the Flash
player installed. It also includes the ability to create PDF files. Impress suffers from a lack of ready-made presentation
designs. However, templates are readily available on the Internet.[6]
- Base — a database program similar to
Microsoft Access. Base allows the
creation and manipulation of databases, and the building of forms and reports to provide easy access to data for end-users.
As with Access, Base is able to work as a front-end to a number of different database systems, including Access databases
(JET), ODBC data sources and MySQL/PostgreSQL. Base became part of the suite starting with version 2.0.
- Draw — a vector graphics editor comparable in features to CorelDRAW.
It features versatile "connectors" between shapes, which are available in a range of line styles and facilitate
building drawings such as flowcharts.
- Math — a tool
for creating and editing mathematical formulae, similar to Microsoft Equation Editor. Formulae can be embedded inside other OpenOffice.org documents, such as
those created by Writer. It supports multiple fonts and can export to PDF.
- QuickStarter — a small program for Windows and
Linux that runs when the computer starts for the first time. It loads the core files and libraries for OpenOffice.org during
computer startup and allows the suite applications to start more quickly when selected later. The amount of time it takes
to open OpenOffice.org applications was a common complaint in version 1.0 of the suite, and Quickstarter was a solution of sorts. Substantial improvements
were made in this area for version 2.0.
- The macro recorder — is used to record user actions and replay them later to
help with automating tasks, using OpenOffice.org Basic Read more...
