Alternatives to Microsoft Office continue to improve. OpenOffice.org is a complete office suite that in addition is free and gains friends day after day.
OpenOffice.org released its 3.0 Beta version, this testing version follows a continuous development, and in its every day way to success approaches more and more in functions to the well-known suite of Microsoft. In this Beta version the general aspect has changed , new extensions were added like Start Center that will help you to choose what kind of document you want to create, backup for another type of formats (ODF 1,2 and initial support for Microsoft´s Open XML), without forgetting that this is the first version with Mac support.
OpenOffice suite includes Writer, Draw, Calc, Math, Impress and Base.
Calc can work with 1024 columns and it incorporates the Solver component, the collaborative edition and the graphics component has been improved. Writer can show several pages in its edition mode and it has an improved note function. Besides it has a new graphic interface and some improvements have been done in the engine. Also they assure that you will be able to export/import to/from pdf files.
Advantages:
- Free!!
- 100% compatible.
- PDF/A support.
Disadvantages:
- Sometimes when trying to save a file it causes it to blow up.

I use openoffice only in place of microsoft office. As it cand read
and write MS office suit files, it is just thhe one needed. Many a
times it has rescued us from embarassing situations where MS PPT
files won't open for some reason but openoffice will import, convert
and just be fine in carrying out the business. Yes, some background
details/decorations will be different. But it is the content that is
most important. The spreadsheet component is also similalry very
usable. I almost do everything in it. I am not syaing anything about
the word processing as it is the mainstay for many a people round
the globe. the databse component could as well be equally good ,
though I have not used it. It is also supposed to work as a front
end to PostgreSQL, that's really great. The only problems that I
face is that it may just hang without any symptoms and then it needs
to be closed down. Of course it will recover the file and do just
fine. It needs to be seen and the problem rectified. As such, it is
a great product.

The most elegant office package, and that too free, not only by cost
but also by personalizing features.

Great and free replacement for MS Office suite.
All packages comparable and compatible, with the exception of DB
(Access), whici is largely embryonal.
