Alternatives to Office

The first alternative that I found to Office is Corel Wordperfect Office X4. It creates polished documents including letters, reports and newsletters. It also can produce budgets, invoices, receipts and expense reports. It can turn complex spreadsheets into charts and graphs that make it easier for the user to interpret. Corel has the ability to present slideshows, proposals, demonstrations, and interactive reports.

The second alternative is Staroffice Software. Staroffice allows the user to use a word processor, work on spreadsheets, make presentations such as powerpoint, draw graphs, make self contained database documents, and has great tools and support for the user.

The third alternative is Google docs. Google docs allows its users to create and edit. You can also import existing documents. Google docs has spreadsheet capabilities and the user is also able to create spreadsheets from scratch. The users can store all their information securely online.

The fourth alternative is Lotus Symphony. Lotus allows the user to use three different applications. These applications include Lotus Symphony Documents, Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets, and Lotus Symphony Presentations. These three applications allow the user to do anything you can do on Microsoft Office.

The final alternative to Office is Open Office. Open Office allows the user to use applications such as Microsoft Work. It has spreadsheet applications also. There is a way to make presentations such as a powerpoint too.
