Hi!

Our office currently uses Microsoft Excel and we e-mail spreadsheets out to
other people. However, we are coming across the fact that some of the people
do not have Excel. Will your product really allow them to open our
spreadsheets? Is it really a free product?
Thank you,

Tamara: Yes, OpenOffice.org is a free product, and yes, it will enable your customers to open Excel spreadsheets.

I have another suggestion though, which I think would be easier for your customers. YOU obtain OpenOffice.org. You can open up your existing Excel spreadsheets and create new spreadsheets using OOo. Then you can very easily "Export to pdf" and thus convert your spreadsheet into a pdf file, which can be opened by anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which nearly every computer has these days. And if they don't, they can easily download it for free.

That way, you're not asking your customers to install software to read your files.
