For most people, OpenOffice is an excellent package, similar to and compatible with Microsoft Office. It's available for free download from www.openoffice.org. It supports the ISO standard ODF format, which Microsoft refuses to do. It can create PDF files and also includes a drawing package, which Microsoft Office does not. On the other hand if you are a "power user", heavily dependent on Word or Excel macros etc., then it may not be a suitable substitute. However, since it is a free download, why not simply give it a try and see for yourself.
