OpenOffice is comparable to the Microsoft Office Suite except it is totally free! OpenOffice comes with programs that are equivalent to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access. These programs will open, edit, and save files created in Microsoft programs, as well as let you create your own files. ***Note: This download is very large, approximately 64MB. High speed internet users (cable, DSL, etc) should have no problem, but telephone dial-up users should probably use the Microsoft viewer programs (above) or AbiWord (below).
