Don;t buy Microsoft or Corel this program is free and do a better job than the PAY versions. None..Oracle ALWAYS updates this program after Sun first had this program. Get this it is FREE even better than the PAY version out there.

The ability to schedule scans is great; many free competitors don't offer the feature. I haven't realized any difficulties yet. There is no way to beat the value of the free addition.

Works in Windows 7 x64Fine as a basic piece of paper to work on. Letter templates have a structure and mind of their own.Invoice templates have the word checks instead of cheques and have $ stamped on them which can't be changed.A lot of the templates you have to buy.Find Office 2003 and have an easier time Alright if you want to sit and fiddle making templates but.......

- Free- Contains all basic, essential features- Accurate and up-to-date functions- Works with Microsoft Office files- Easy to use- Brilliant for low-performance computers- Easy to install and set up - Lacks in special features that Microsoft Office contains- Doesn't come with a publisher package- Interface doesn't look very attractive This software is an alternative for those who can't afford the Microsoft Office software. The program comes as a package with a spreadsheet writer and document writer. However the package is missing a publications package that is usually expected in Office Suit software. The program is very simple to use, doesn't take up too much memory (RAM) and doesn't crash unexpectedly. The software is fairly straightforward to use and suitable for anyone of any age.

" I don't know what Word is like..." Why in the world would someone write a review comparing Openoffice with Word and HE DOESN'T KNOW WORD! Stupidity!

The basic problem with openoffice is that it is an imitation of Microsoft Word. Imitations are always inferior. I don't know what Word is like, but it can't be worse than openoffice. I only use openoffice Writer, and have no idea about the performance of the other features. Openoffice Writer is incompatible with MS Word, so why did they imitate it? Writer is crap! Plain and simple. I hate it, but I started a book with it and cannot transfer it to a superior format. NOBODY supports the openoffice format, which is incompatible with every format except perhaps PDF, which is very unfashionable today. The book I am working on is a picture biography with about 100 photographs. It is almost impossible to work with. Every 10 minutes openoffice "saves" what I am working on. This process takes 10 minutes and freezes up my computer so I just have to sit and wait and wait and wait... This morning I myself "Saved to" what I was working on. After 10 minutes it was finished, so I attempted to close the document. NO! Openoffice prompted me that I had "unsaved changes" (complete bulls***) and I had to wait another 10 ****ing minutes for it to "save" the document again. Openoffice Writer is s***! Nobody supports its format, and it does not convert to other formats properly, with the possible exception of PDF. Perhaps it is suitable for office workers, but it is definitely something for professional writers to avoid. It's not a matter of you get what you pay for, because openoffice Writer constantly torments and punishes me when I try to use it. Over a dozen times openoffice Writer has crashed, and I had to "recover" it. Usually it is successful, but twice it failed to recover my book!
