In over 20 years of office administration, this is the ultimate #1 go to software. It's easy to understand, use, and documents transfers to any other software out there easily and without fuss. I strictly use this on all my machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the commercial features are not readily available, but usually there's a plug in available if you can find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has no cost and works fairly reliably. It integrates with similar software made by other providers. It has an equal amount of features as paid-for products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can crash occasionally with no clear reason. For that reason it can be problematic if you have not saved your document recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Apache Open Office every day for my work but not only for that. It is free and allows you to execute Word documents, Excel sheets, and much more.

I mainly use Word as a copywriter. Recommended to everyone for its ease of use and the completeness of the associated tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenOffice Writer is a well designed program that is as intuitive as MS Word but a much better value given it is open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support documentation is good but not great and could use additional use case scenarios or more specific examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having the option to open Word documents when I am on my Mac. I don't use word documents often, but in the few times that I do, OpenOffice has been very helpful in allowing me to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features that are in Word are missing in OpenOffice, but it doesn't affect my use of it too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A free program that allows you to easily write and edit text docs.

It doesn't provide all the options that Microsoft Word does, but... this is free so you can understand! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't make very complex uses of OpenOffice Writer and so I find it good for me. The formats in which it can be saved are more than sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think if you want to work a little on the basic template, it's not very easy. I think it only goes well if you have no particular needs. For more beautiful templates, it's better to search online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
