Apache OpenOffice For
Windows is a free, Open
Source MS Office alternative
with a Word compatible word
processor, a complete Excel
compatible spreadsheet
program, and more.
Apache OpenOffice For
Windows will be easy to
learn and use, especially if
you're currently utilizing
another office software
package, as it will have a
quite familiar feel to it.
The UI is clear and does
include many of the same
features as some of its
counterparts.
It features everything you
need to be productive at the
office or home and is very
similar to LibreOffice and
NeoOffice. It includes a
fully functioning
spreadsheet that has the
ability to analyze,
calculate, and present your
data with excellent graphics
or numerical reports and a
full-service word processor
for double-checking and
completing the job at hand.
If you need a bit more style
added to your work, you can
employ the Apache OpenOffice
Draw feature and add
anything from simple
diagrams to dynamic 3D
illustrations. |

WPS
Office (previously
called Kingsoft
Office) is a suite
that includes a word
processor, called
Writer, that's easy
to use because of
its tabbed
interface, clean
design, and
uncluttered menu.
Spell check is
performed
automatically as you
would expect to be
done in a good word
processor. You can
easily toggle spell
check on and off
from the menu at the
bottom.
Writer supports
full-screen mode,
dual page layout,
and the option to
hide the menus,
which makes for a
perfect
distraction-free
writing experience.
There's even a
viewing mode to
protect against eye
damage, turning the
background of the
page into a greenish
color.
You can also add
custom dictionaries,
read/write to
popular file types,
create a cover page
and table of
contents, use
built-in templates,
encrypt documents,
and easily view all
the pages of a
document from a side
pane. |

Like Google Docs, Zoho
Writer is an online word
processor that's incredibly
easy to use while at the
same time has all the bells
and whistles of a
traditional word processor.
You'll be able to create and
edit documents with ease.
Documents auto-save, you can
see past revisions that were
made to the document,
spelling errors are called
out, there's an auto correct
feature you can customize,
and you can upload MS Word
files as well as save Zoho
Writer documents to your
computer in popular formats
like PDF and DOCX.
A unique feature of this
online word processor is the
ability to chat as you
collaborate on a document.
Logging on is super simple
if you already have a Google
or Facebook account. It
works from a computer and
mobile devices. |
