OpenOffice is a full office suite, comparable to Microsoft Office. It includes word processor, spreadsheet, database, drawing and other components. It can read & write Microsoft Office formats, other than the latest Office 2007 formats and, by default, supports the ISO standard file formats. It can also generate PDF's. Unlike Microsoft Office, which costs a lot of money, OpenOffice is a free download from www.openoffice.org. You can install it on as many computers as you wish and also pass it on to others.
