I'm sure most of you are familiar with Microsoft Office, and most you you need to use either or all of text-editor, spreadsheet or some kind of graphic program almost every day. Open Office, is in fact, a free application with the most of the functions MS Office has. Hey, I'm not an expert, but I bet Open Office beats MS Office any time, any day, and the superb thing is, it's free. 40 million+ users can't be wrong.
OpenOffice provides everything most people need in an office productivity suite. The main components of the OpenOffice.org Suite are the Writer wordprocessor; the Calc spreadsheet; Impress for presentations ; Draw for graphics; and the Base database. OpenOffice.org is stable, reliable, and robust, built up over twenty years' development. Unlike its major competitor, it was designed from the start as a single piece of software, which makes for higher quality software and a more consistent user experience. It is actively developed, with several releases every year.

OpenOffice is both easy to use and easy to migrate to, for both experienced and beginners alike. It has a familiar user interface, and is able to read and write the vast majority of legacy file formats (including common Microsoft Office formats). It is supported in over ninety languages, with active support both Community based (free) and from commercial organisations (paid-for).
OpenOffice is released under an open-source licence (the LGPL), which means it may be used free of any licence fees, for any purpose: private, governmental, commercial, etc. Once acquired (either as a free download or as a CD) it may be installed on an unlimited number of computers, and may be copied and distributed without restriction. OpenOffice.org supports extensions, allowing users to add on extra functions easily from an extensions repository. This is a key differentiator from the competition.
Best of all, OpenOffice can be downloaded and used entirely free of any licence fees. OpenOffice is released under the LGPL licence. This means you may use it for any purpose - domestic, commercial, educational, public administration. You may install it on as many computers as you like. You may make copies and give them away to family, friends, students, employees - anyone you like.
