Free alternative for Office productivity tools: Apache OpenOffice - formerly known as OpenOffice.org - is an open-source office productivity software suite containing word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, graphics, formula editor, and database management applications. OpenOffice is available in many languages, works on all common computers, stores data in ODF - the international open standard format - and is able to read and write files in other formats, included the format used by the most common office suite packages. OpenOffice is also able to export files in PDF format. OpenOffice has supported extensions, in a similar manner to Mozilla Firefox, making easy to add new functionality to an existing OpenOffice installation.

    Overall, I liked OpenOffice. It does the job for everyday document work, and being free is a plus. However, the interface feels dated, and some tasks could be simpler and more intuitive. It’s usable, but it hasn’t blown me away. I’d give it 4 out of 5.

    I still deploy OpenOffice for a few small clients who need a straightforward office suite on older Windows machines that would struggle with heavier software. Writer and Calc cover the daily work - letters, invoices, and simple spreadsheets with SUM and sorting - and opening the common Microsoft formats works well enough that staff rarely notice the difference. One tip that avoids most complaints: set the default save format to the Microsoft formats in Options if the office shares files back and forth all day, otherwise people forget and send ODF files to puzzled recipients. Updates are infrequent, so I check versions during regular maintenance visits.

    Adoro OpenOffice da quando ce l'ho. Non penserei mai e poi mai di usare Word, Google documenti ecc. consiglio a tutti OpenOffice, perché è davvero utile, e per me è il più comodo per i documenti.
